Abstract
A system for facilitating a cardiac rhythm disorder diagnosis with the aid of a digital computer is provided. A download station retrieves cutaneous action potentials of a patient recorded over a time by an ECG device as ECG data. An R-R interval plot of the ECG data includes R-R intervals plotted along an x-axis of the plot and heart rates associated with the R-R intervals plotted along a y-axis. The R-R intervals are calculated as a difference between recording times of successive pairs of R-wave peaks. Each heart rate is associated with each time difference. One or more portions of the R-R intervals are identified in the plot. Each portion of the R-R intervals includes a cardiac event. Report strips are generated and each includes one portion of the R-R intervals and a portion of the ECG data. The report strips are included in a cardiac report for the patient.
