Abstract
Animal EKG analysis is still done by veterinary doctors, it is not only difficult but also subjective. EMPI (EKG Multiphase Information Diagnosis) Technology has been successfully used for the human heart, it is reasonably think that use this new technology into animal EKG analysis shall be effective and makes the animal EKG analysis to be automatic and objective. This patent introduces the inventor's new invention for computerized analysis of animal EKG based on the computerized EKG wave-form analysis technology and EMPI technology.

A method of diagnosing a cardiac condition of an animal comprising the steps of
- (a) acquiring electrocardiographic signals from the animal,
- (b) mathematically determining the function descriptive of the animal heart from the electrocardiographic signals;
- (c) establishing a set of indices for each function each indicative of the cardiac condition of the animal;
- (d) generating an integrated pattern of the states of the indices from a plurality of the functions;
- (e) recognizing the state of each index for each function;
- (f) storing a collection of index patterns, each containing a multitude of patterns of the states of indices for a multitude of animals whose cardiac condition is known;
- and
- (g) matching the generated integrated pattern against the stored collection of index patterns to determine the cardiac condition of the animal being diagnosed.
An arrangement for diagnosing a cardiac condition of an animal, comprising:
- (a) means for acquiring electrical analog electrocardiographic signals from the animal;
- (b) means for mathematically determining the function descriptive of the animal heart from the analog signals;
- (c) means for establishing a set of indices for each function, each indicative of the cardiac condition of the animal;
- (d) means for recognizing the state of each index for each function;
- (e) means for generating an integrated pattern of the states of the indices from the function;
- (f) means for storing a collection of index patterns, each containing a multitude of patterns of the states of indices for a multitude of animals whose cardiac condition is known;
- and
- (g) means for matching the generated integrated pattern against the stored collection of index patterns to determine the cardiac condition of the animal being diagnosed.
