Process and device for processing and displaying a read-out signal from an electrocardiogram recording read at a speed greater than the speed of recording
First Claim
1. A method of processing and displaying an electrocardiogram signal that has been recorded at a first speed, comprising the steps of:
- reading said recorded signal at a speed greater than the first speed of recording;
selectively and simultaneously detecting the occurrence of a plurality of types of pathological complexes from the read signal; and
simultaneously displaying a signal sequence of said read signal for each detected pathological complex at respective different ones of a plurality of distinct display locations.

Abstract
A process and device for processing and displaying an electrocardiogram signal read at a speed greater than the speed of recording, in which process a plurality of types of pathological complexes are selectively and simultaneously detected with the aid of discriminators on the signal read, and on each of a plurality of distinct display locations there is displayed each signal sequence presenting a complex of a type corresponding to said display location. The process and device are more particularly applicable to the statistical processing such as the drawing up of a histogram of the pathological occurrences of an electrocardiogram signal.

9. Apparatus for processing and displaying an electrocardiogram signal that has been recorded at a first speed on a recording medium, comprising:
-
reading means for reading said recorded signal at a speed greater than the first speed of recording; delay means for delaying said read signal; a plurality of memory means, each receiving the delayed signal from said delay means; a plurality of discriminator means, each adapted to detect the occurrence of a type of pathological complex in the read signal from said reading means and each discriminator means controlling a respective one of said memory means to record a signal sequence of the delayed signal corresponding to a respective type of pathological complex upon the detection of said respective type of pathological complex; and display means including a plurality of distinct display locations, each adapted to display a respective signal sequence recorded by a respective one of said memory means, whereby each display location is associated with a particular type of pathological complex. - View Dependent Claims (10)
