Abstract
A medical display for analyzing heart signals includes a cardiographic display which displays an electrocardiograph (ECG) heart signal segment of a patient having a magnitude and location in vector format within a single three-dimensional (3D) coordinate system (vectorcardiograph) sampled at incremental time intervals. The display communicates with a central processing unit (CPU) that implements an algorithm to permit a user to selectively and visually display a comparison of the patient ECG with at least one known display in vector format within a single three-dimensional (3D) coordinate system. The display also permits a user to selectively and visually convert and display an ECG heart signal segment into a color-coded projection of a time sequence, A method for analyzing heart signals includes implementing the algorithm to selectively and visually compare the ECG heart signal with at least one known display in vector format selected from the group.
