Abstract
A reduced lead set device (10) that detects and reports the presence of an acute cardiac ischemic condition in a patient includes a reduced set of sensing electrodes (12, 14, 16, 18, and 20) placed on a patient for acquiring ECG data from the patient. The reduced lead set device evaluates the ECG data on a reduced set of leads by analyzing local features and/or global features of the ECG data. Local features may include local morphological measures such as ST elevation and clinical information on the patient such as age and sex. Global features include projection coefficients calculated from projecting a concatenated vector of heartbeat data onto separate sets of basis vectors that define signal subspaces of ischemic and non-ischemic ECGs. One or more classifiers evaluate the local features and/or global features to determine whether an acute cardiac ischemic condition is detected. The operating point, i.e., sensitivity and specificity, of the reduced lead set device is adjustable. The result of the evaluation is reported to the user of the device.
