  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ALGORITHM FUSION OF HIGH-RESOLUTION ELECTROCARDIOGRAMS
    Publication number: 20050004481
    Abstract: A system and a method for noninvasive ECG detection and diagnosis. The system comprises a multiplicity of electrodes applied to a patient, a data acquisition system for acquiring high-resolution ECG data from the patient; and a processor programmed to process the acquired data in accordance with two or more different ECG analysis algorithms, and then derive a prediction score for a particular clinical end point as a function of the respective results of those ECG analysis algorithms.

  • Method of using spectral measures to distinguish among atrialfibrillation, atrial-flutter and other cardiac rhythms
    Patent number: 6597943
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for differentiating among atrial-flutter, atrial-fibrillation and other cardiac rhythms. The method includes the steps of estimating a spectral entropy of atrial cardiac activity from an electrocardiogram of a patient and determining that the patient has atrial fibrillation when the spectral entropy is greater than a predetermined value.
