Electrocardiogram Analysis
First Claim
1. A device for analyzing electrocardiogram data, the device comprising:
- an input means for obtaining a temporal sequence of electrocardiogram data registered by at least 2 electrodes corresponding to a plurality of predetermined locations on the body of a user,a processing unit connected to said input means to receive and process the temporal sequence of electrocardiogram data, the processing unit being programmed for determining at least one parameter indicative of a morphological feature of said temporal sequence of electrocardiogram data, the morphological feature comprising a multi-dimensional ST segment feature, and for performing a comparison of said at least one parameter to a previously determined distribution of the at least one parameter; and
an output means connected to said processing unit for generating a signal taking into account said comparison, the signal being representative of a risk of a myocardial infarction occurring in said body,wherein the electrocardiogram data comprises;
a) a first bipolar measurement obtained between a chest electrode point on the body located between 3 cm and 6 cm above the fourth left parasternal intercostal space and a location on the right upper extremity,b) a second bipolar measurement obtained between the left crista iliaca and the location on the right upper extremity, andc) a third bipolar measurement obtained between a location on the left upper extremity and the location on the right upper extremity.

Abstract
A device 1 is described for analyzing electrocardiogram data. The device comprises processing means for comparing at least one parameter, indicative of a morphological feature comprising a multi-dimensional ST segment feature, derived from a temporal sequence of electrocardiogram data to a previously determined distribution of the at least one parameter. Based on the comparison, a signal representative of a risk of a myocardial infarction occurring in the body of the user is provided. A corresponding method and device are also described. The electrocardiogram data comprises a bipolar measurement between a chest electrode point and the right upper extremity, a bipolar measurement between the left crista iliaca and the right upper extremity and a bipolar measurement between the left and the right upper extremity.
