User feedback to controls ischemia monitoring ecg algorithm

A system that facilitates mitigating false positive alerts when monitoring ST elevation in an electrocardiogram (ECG) indicative of ischemia or myocardial infarction, comprising:

• a noise measuring module that receives real-time ECG data and measures a level of noise associated with each of a plurality of ECG segments;
• a best periodic ECG identifying module that receives the real-time ECG data and noise measurement information from the noise measuring module, and identifies a lowest-noise ECG segment, which has a lowest level of noise relative to other ECG segments in the plurality of ECG segments;
• an ECG analysis module that analyzes the lowest-noise ECG segment to detect one or more elevated ST segments therein;
• an alert generator that generates an alert upon detection of the one or more elevated ST segments;
• a user interface on which the lowest-noise ECG segment that triggered the alert is presented to a user for review and via which the alert generator receives user feedback regarding whether the alert is a false positive;
• and
• a processor that adjusts an elevated ST segment detection algorithm as a function of the received user input such that elevated ST segments not indicative of ischemia or myocardial infarction are ignored.
