Abstract

An electrocardiogram analysis report simultaneously displays an electrocardiogram waveform collected from a subject and information about a measurement value calculated from the electrocardiogram waveform. The electrocardiogram analysis report includes a frontal plane display region configured to display a limb leads waveform included in the electrocardiogram waveform and information about a measurement value calculated from the limb leads waveform, and a horizontal plane display region configured to display a chest lead waveform included in the electrocardiogram waveform and information about a measurement value calculated from the chest lead waveform, wherein the information about the measurement value is displayed at a position spaced apart by a distance corresponding to a size of the measurement value in a direction from a predetermined center point to the relevant lead waveform in the frontal plane display region and the horizontal plane display region.
