    摘要: Fast recovery electrocardiogram (ECG) signal method and apparatus are provided. In one embodiment, an ECG apparatus includes an input for receiving a biometric cardiogram signal, such as a Wilson Central Terminal (WCT) signal, and a combiner, such as an adder, for producing a compensated signal. Processing circuitry produces an ECG reflective of the compensated signal and also outputs a signal corresponding to high frequency response of the compensated signal to compensate for low response of the biometric cardiogram signal to high frequency spikes. A resultant ECG is produced by the processing circuitry having pacing signal contribution within the biometric cardiogram signal cancelled.

    摘要: The present disclosure lies in the general field of clinical electrocardiography (ECG), more specifically in ECG methods comprising precordial ECG amplitude measurements. The present invention relates to methods of determining a subject's corrected precordial ECG amplitude from an ECG measurement, which corrections are based on intraindividual changes such as the rotation position of the heart on the horizontal plane, and/or changes in body mass index. The methods are thus useful for adjustment of intraindividual changes over time in precordial ECG amplitudes, such as between two ECG measurements. The present invention further relates to a device, an apparatus and a computer program product, and to uses of said device, apparatus and computer program product in a method of determining a subject's corrected precordial ECG amplitude from an ECG measurement, and for improving the accuracy of electrocardiographic methods depending on precordial ECG amplitude measurements. For example, the methods and the device, apparatus or product can be advantageously used in a method of diagnosing left ventricular hypertrophy and/or hypertension in a subject.
