Color-coded ECG
First Claim
1. A method utilizing color coding for presenting both qualitative and numeric quantitative, time-displacement comparative ECG data comprisingacquiring time-based ECG data from a person, comparing such acquired data qualitatively and numerically quantitatively to ECG data present in a previously established, relevant ECG database, during said comparing, noting like regions of compared ECG data wherein certain qualitative and numeric quantitative characterizable differences appear, and following said comparing and noting steps, presenting such acquired ECG data in a manner employing differentiating color coding to identify, on a time base, certain qualitative and numeric quantitative comparative aspects of the noted, difference-characterized regions.

Abstract
A method and system for presenting time-based, comparative, patient-specific ECG data in various presentation formats, wherein color-coding is employed as a visual device to communicate vividly different, selected “changed” characteristics in that patient'"'"'s current ECG-detected status.

7. 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 both qualitatively and numerically quantitatively, 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, qualitative and numeric quantitative 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.
