Abstract
The invention relates to a method and a device for deriving and evaluating cardiovascular information from curves of the cardiac current, in particular for applications in telemedicine. According to the invention, for data reduction purposes, a mean value and a standard deviation across the whole recording time are initially determined from a recorded ECG from the high-resolution signal, after which the RR intervals are assessed by means of an identification algorithm and only the results obtained are transmitted and/or recorded, for the purpose of data reduction.

7. Device for deriving and evaluating cardiovascular information from electrocardiograms, especially for telemedical applications, comprising a sensor unit for ECG recording, wherein the sensor unit includes at least two fixed electrodes and an evaluation device, wherein the fixed electrodes can be brought into contact with the skin surface of the subject,
characterized in that for determining a sufficient contact pressure, the contact resistance fixed electrode/skin of the subject is determined, wherein a high frequency test signal with a constant amplitude is added to the measured signal, wherein further the sum signal is attenuated by the subject connected in parallel to the input voltage divider and the resulting amplitude value of the higher-frequency test signal is proportional to the impedance of the fixed electrode-skin transition.
