  • Patent number: 6931271
    Abstract: A system provides synthesized chest lead signals of a conventional 12 lead electrocardiogram (ECG) signal set. The system adaptively derives ECG chest lead signals for a plurality of the six ECG chest lead signals of a conventional 12 lead ECG signal set. The system includes an input processor for receiving data comprising two measured ECG chest lead signals comprising a particular two of the six ECG chest lead signals of a conventional 12 lead ECG signal set and receiving associated information identifying the particular two signals of the six ECG chest lead signals. A data processor in the system uses the information identifying the particular two signals of the six ECG chest lead signals for identifying and selecting coefficients from a plurality of stored coefficients and applying a transformation using the selected coefficients to the data comprising the two measured ECG chest lead signals to derive data representing a plurality of non-measured ECG chest lead signals.

  • Patent number: 6690967
    Abstract: An electrocardiogram (ECG) system includes a database for containing a number of entries. Each entry contains data for synthesizing a 12 lead ECG from received ECG lead signals, and an accuracy measure of the synthesized 12 lead ECG signals. The received ECG lead signals may be missing one or more leads due to detachment of the corresponding electrode, or because the location on the patient is unavailable. The synthesized 12 lead ECG synthesizes the missing leads. Alternatively, the received 12 lead ECG may be derived from a patient in a different body position than a reference position. The synthesized 12 lead ECG translates the ECG to one for the patient in the reference body position. In addition, a synthesized lead signal may be compared to a received lead signal to detect anomalous signals.

  • Patent number: 6643539
    Abstract: An electrocardiogram (ECG) system provides a set of ECG lead signals. The system includes a source of a subset of ECG lead signals. A synthesizer, coupled to the ECG lead signal source, generates a set of synthesized ECG lead signals from the subset of ECG lead signals. Data is also generated representing the accuracy of the set of synthesized ECG lead signals.
