Abstract
A method and computerized system for ECG data review and analysis are provided. In preferred embodiments, a transformation is performed on beat data and the transformed data are categorized into beat "bins." The clinician/user may select sensitivity to vary the number of bins created by the system. Once beats are preliminarily assigned to bins by the system, the clinician/user may review beats by bin and reassigned beats as desired. In preferred embodiments, recategorization is accomplished by "dragging" a beat to a new bin with the aid of a pointing device or "mouse." In preferred embodiments, a superimposition mode allows dynamic review of beat graphs with automatic detection, color coding, and optional pause at abnormal beats. Audio information is also preferably provided to aid the clinician/user in detecting abnormal beats. A P-wave marker capability is also provided to give a constant reference point during beat review in the superimposition mode. Preferred embodiments also provide the clinician/user immediate access to surrounding real-time data when reviewing individual beats.
