  • Patent number: 11445968
    Abstract: Heart condition and function can be quantified using repolarization measures and/or repolarization indices derived from a time-frequency transform of an electrocardiogram, e.g., based on points in time associated with the T wave. The electrocardiograms, time-frequency maps derived therefrom, and/or indices obtained by analysis of the time-frequency maps and electrocardiograms may be assembled into a user interface. Further embodiments are described.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 10, 2020
    Date of Patent: September 20, 2022

  • Patent number: 11336034
    Abstract: In electrocardiography (ECG) system, a patient cable connecting one or more electrodes to a processing device for processing ECG signals may include one or more electrode connectors mechanically keyed to respective electrodes and/or a device connector mechanically and/or electronically keyed to a cable connector of the processing device. In some embodiments, keying between the cable and electrode is achieved, for example, with an electrode including a hollow-post portion that defines a bore in conjunction with a post protruding from an arm of the electrode connector that is sized to fit within the bore.

  • Publication number: 20170196473
    Abstract: Described are systems, devices, and methods for deriving quantitative metrics of heart condition and function from one or more electrocardiograms or time-frequency maps derived therefrom. In various embodiments, repolarization indices for the left and right ventricles are determined from the T wave in respective electrocardiograms. An overall heart-health index may be determined based on a comparison between the left and right ventricular repolarization indices.
