Abstract
Compact, mobile three-lead cardiac monitoring devices for remote detection and/or diagnosis of cardiac events (e.g., acute myocardial infarction). The apparatus may include two integrated hand electrodes and two chest electrodes disposed on two pivotable arms that are capable of retracting in the compartments, enabling a compact size when the device is not used. Also described herein are systems including these devices and methods of using them.
Claims24
A mobile three-lead cardiac monitoring device comprising:
- a casing having a front face and a rear face;
- two chest electrodes;
- two finger electrodes;
- two foldable arms pivotably attached to the casing on opposing ends thereof, wherein the two finger electrodes are disposed on the front face or edge of the casing and the two chest electrodes are disposed on the foldable arms;
- one or more acoustic sensors on the foldable arms and configured to detect an acoustic signal from a skin surface;
- a processor configured to concurrent detect both heart sound signals from the one or more acoustic sensors and electrical signals from the two chest electrodes and two finger electrodes;
- and
- two substantially prismatic compartments on either side of the casing, each configured for receiving the foldable arms in a folded down position, each compartment having two lateral walls, a bottom, a front wall and a pin, wherein each pin connects two opposed lateral walls of each compartment.
