Abstract:
Providing an indication of the physiological state of the heart of a mammal by the steps of detecting periodic activity of internal heart organs in a sequence of heart cycles; observing a predetermined physical quantity characteristic of a selected activity; evaluating predetermined statistical parameters of the predetermined physical quantity for a selected number of the sequence of heart cycles; and comparing the evaluated statistical parameters with reference values thereby to provide an indication of the state of the selected activity.
Abstract:
This invention is providing an indication of the physiological state of the heart of a mammal by the steps of detecting periodic activity of internal heart organs in a sequence of heart cycles; observing a predetermined physical quantity characteristics of a selected activity; evaluating predetermined statistical parameters of the predetermined physical quantity for a selected number of sequence of heart cycles; and comparing the evaluated statistical parameters with reference values thereby to provide an indication of the state of the selected activity. The apparatus includes electrodes (10), amplifier (12), A/D converter (14) signal processor (16), and a display (18).
