This invention is in the medical area of electrocardiography (ECG) analysis. Despite its widespread use, well known that there is not enough sensitivity and specificity in many cases. The invention represents a radical improvement in ECG analysis in comparison to ECG analysis available today. This improvement in the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity to a wide array of serious and life-threatening cardiac abnormalities is made possible using standard ECG signals that are analyzed through the invented electrodynamical model of electrical field generation by the heart, which gives new information from ECG fluctuations unused by known methods based on static dipole model. It allows a much more detailed reconstruction of the heart's electrical processes and visualization of a precise anatomical picture of a dynamics of heart processes which heretofore has never been achieved. It allows the clinician to see whole pattern of heart state and to detect a wide range of cardiac abnormalities at a very early stage of disease and to identify these abnormalities (i.e., superior sensitivity and specificity when compared with modern ECG analysis).
The method of visualization of ECG-signals of standard cardiological leads in the form of anatomic portrait of heart characterized by, that the data of any two standard leads I and III, I and II or II and III are transformed to the data of additional leads, which turn to a graphics portrait of heart in the form of anatomic model with distinguishing of four cameras of heart, color and form of which are determined by a state of heart.
The method of at least one of the previous claims, characterized by, that the digital data of initial standard leads are transformed to digital data of additional leads.
The method of at least one of the previous claims characterized by, that the digital data of each additional lead on one interval of the registration are passed through a high-pass filter, then a difference between unfiltered and filtered signals is determine, and the obtained data are encoded by color on a degree of deviation from standard data of healthy heart obtained empirically.
The method of at least one of the previous claims characterized by, that the space coordinates of base points of additional leads posed to the left of an axis of maximum excitation, correspond to the left departments of heart, and the space coordinates of additional leads to the right of an axis of maximum excitation correspond to the right departments of heart.
The device of claim 10, characterized by, that the device (10) transforms voltages of any combination of two standard leads I-II, I-III or II-III to two basic voltages.
The device of claim 10, characterized by, that the device (11) will transform two basic voltages to outputting additional voltages, which number is defined by the value of a constant signal of localization accuracy transmitted from the switch Dim2.
The device of claim 10, characterized by, that the device (12) will transform outputting additional voltages to three signals of corners of maximum excitation accordingly for processes of depolarization of atriums, depolarization of ventricles and repolarization of ventricles.
The device of claim 10, characterized by, that the output signals of the device (12) are transferred in the device (6) for handle of space localization of deviations on an anatomic portrait of heart.
