Abstract

An improved method for registering the changes in electrical potentials present on the surface of the body in association with the contraction of the heart by recognizing that today'"'"'s art hypothesis on the genesis of such potentials are unsustainable. The new “Bipolar non-Vectorial Leads” are obtained by paring a distal “Common or Positive Electrode” placed on the left leg with an “Exploring or Negative Electrode” placed near the myocardium on areas where the electrical potentials generated by the different structures of the myocardium are prevalent. The approximate twelve leads will sample all the areas were each myocardial structure is prevalent. The leads so obtained are to be analyzed as generated on the surface of the myocardium and conducted throughout through the body to the entire surface by the muscular masses that are in close contact with the different structures of the myocardium. The final report besides the printed electrocardiographic traces includes all the digital data sets, obtained by the electrocardiograph, saved on a digital disk.

Claims

1. A method of registering Bipolar Non-Vectorial Electrocardiographic leads, comprising of the following steps:

a. placing approximately twelve “

Exploring or Negative Electrodes”

on a surface of a body were changes of electrical potential are prevalent for each myocardial structure,

b. connecting each of said “

Exploring or Negative Electrodes”

to a negative terminal of their respective individual amplifier,

c. placing a “

Common or Positive Electrode”

on a left leg,

d. connecting each said “

Common or Positive Electrodes”

to a positive terminal of all amplifiers,

e. placing one “

Ground Electrode”

on a right leg, and

f. connecting said “

Ground Electrode”

to a ground terminal of all the amplifiers,

whereby said registered Bipolar non-Vectorial electrocardiographic leads will facilitate, understanding normal and pathological physiological processes, and diagnosing normal and pathological processes associated with myocardial systole and diastole.

2. A method of analyzing said Bipolar Non-Vectorial Electrocardiographic Leads, comprising of the following steps:

a. recognizing that a change in electrical potential on said surface of said body synchronized with the contraction of a myocardium is generated by a monophasic electrical potential present on a surface of a structure of said myocardium,

b. recognizing that said change in electrical potential on the surface of the body is propagated throughout through the body by a muscular mass that is in close contact with said structure of the myocardium,

c. recognizing that the structure of the myocardium propagates throughout through the body said monophasic electrical potentials present on said surface of the structure of the myocardium to a specific area of the surface of the body at a specific time, amplitude and morphology,

whereby said analysis facilitates the recognition of the normal processes and facilitates recognition and localization of;

abnormal rhythms, alterations of conduction of impulses along the Bundle of His, specific coronary alterations involved in angina and myocardial infarctions, myocardial aneurisms.

3. A method of analyzing a wave of a Bipolar Non-Vectorial Electrocardiographic Lead trace, comprising of the following step:

a. recognizing that said wave of said Bipolar Non-Vectorial Electrocardiographic trace is generated by a difference between specific times, amplitudes and morphologies of monophasic electrical potentials present on a surface of different structures of a myocardium,

whereby said analysis of the waves facilitates the recognition, localization, and myocardial origin of the abnormal Bipolar Non-Vectorial Electrocardiographic Lead.

4. A method of analyzing a segment of a Bipolar non-Vectorial Electrocardiographic trace, comprising of the following step:

a. recognizing that said segment of said Bipolar non-Vectorial Electrocardiographic trace is generated by a difference between specific times, amplitudes and morphologies of the monophasic electrical potentials present on the surface of the different structures of the myocardium,

whereby said analysis of the segments facilitates the recognition and site of ischemic pathology of the myocardium.

5. A method of reporting a Bipolar, Non-Vectorial Electrocardiographic Lead, comprising of the following steps:

a. including with a final printed report a digital disk with a digital data set,

b. burning said digital disk with said digital data sets of all said Bipolar, Non-Vectorial Electrocardiographic Leads acquired by said electrocardiograph,

c. burning the digital disk with the digital data sets of the calculated second derivative leads,

d. burning the digital disk with the digital data sets of a difference between old and new Bipolar, Non-Vectorial Electrocardiographic Leads,

e. burning the digital disc with the digital data sets of the identification of the subject,

f. burning the digital disc with the digital data sets of the anatomical location of the “

Exploring or Negative Electrodes”

,

whereby said reporting will allow the comparison, by the electrocardiograph, between the present electrocardiographic traces and future traces to facilitate the recognition of incipient pathology or clear pathological process iminating human error
