Abstract

A cardiac monitoring and telemedicine method and system provides advanced ischemia and infarction analysis and monitoring. Advanced calculations are performed on ECG signals to obtain parameter values relating to myocardial ischemia and infarction. Dominant heart beats are averaged to form a smooth beat, which is analyzed to determine the parameter values continuously and in real-time. The device includes an entry portion for input of information data and a communication portion for bi-directional communication with a central unit.
