  • Adaptive real time ECG triggering and uses thereof
    Patent number: 8204582
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods and apparatus for generating a trigger from the R wave of an electrocardiogram (ECG) waveform using a threshold that adapts to the slope of the R wave while still within the leading edge of the R wave.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 6, 2006
    Date of Patent: June 19, 2012
    Assignee: Arrow International, Inc.
