Color-coded ECG
First Claim
1. A method for presenting ECG data comprising acquiring time-based ECG data from a person, comparing such acquired data to ECG data present in a previously established, relevant ECG database, during said comparing, noting like regions of compared ECG data wherein certain differences appear, and following said comparing and noting steps, presenting such acquired ECG data in a manner employing color coding to identify, on a time base, certain aspects of the noted, difference-characterized regions.

6. A system for presenting ECG data comprising
input structure for acquiring time-based ECG data from a person, comparison structure operatively connected to said input structure, and having access to an available, previously established, relevant ECG database, operable to compare such acquired and previously established data, and to note selected differences therebetween, and color-coding and output structure, operatively connected to said comparison structure, operable selectively to assign differentiating coding colors to different regions of different noted, compared ECG data differences, and to output, on the basis thereof, and on a time base, a color-coded visual presentation of the acquired ECG data, color-marked to identify and characterize such noted differences.
