Definitions
- This invention relates to electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring systems and, in particular, to real ⁇ time ST monitoring system which automatically
- Electrocardiography is in widespread use to produce records derived from voltages produced by the heart on the surface of the human body.
- the records so produced are graphical in character and require expert interpretation and analysis to relate the resulting information to the heart condition of the patient.
- Such records have been produced directly as visible graphic recordings from wired connections extending from the subject to the recording device.
- An emergency clinical application where ECG records are critical is the diagnosis of symptoms of acute coronary disease, commonly referred to as heart attacks.
- Patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) such as chest pain or discomfort and shortness of breath are often diagnosed electrocardiographically, where the elevation or depression of the ST segments of ECG waveforms are critically analyzed.
- ACS acute coronary syndrome
- One scenario that frequently occurs is that the ST elevation of a patient's ECG at the time of admission to an emergency department or a chest pain center of a hospital does not meet the diagnostic criteria for a definitive ST elevation myocardial infarct (STEMI) diagnosis. In such cases, patients are often
- an ACS patient is definitively diagnosed with an ECG presentation of STEMI, and undergoes interventional reperfusion therapy.
- Proven therapies to restore myocardial reperfusion include thrombolytics or percutaneous coronary intervention to open the infarct-related artery.
- Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) is another perfusion therapy often applied to ACS patients with more serious occlusions.
- CABG Coronary artery bypass graft
- the patient is usually connected to an ECG monitor for ST monitoring and observation in a recovery room, intensive care unit (ICU) or cardiac care unit (CCU) for observation of regression or progression of the patient condition. New episodes of coronary artery occlusion may occur if the
- the ECG monitor described in this patent application analyzes the ST segments of ECG waveforms produced by leads associated with different regions of the body. On the basis of the ST elevation and depression exhibited by different groups of leads, the system identifies to a clinician the coronary artery which is the likely location of an occlusion, the "culprit" coronary artery. The system does this using standard ECG lead placement and multiple ECG waveform presentation. While such a display provides all of the relevant diagnostic information for a definitive diagnosis, including an indication of the culprit artery, significant skill in the
- ECG waveforms are still necessary to relate the ECG data to the culprit artery indicated by the system. It would be desirable to have an unambiguous, graphical way of relating the ECG data to the diagnostic indication, so that the clinician could immediately appreciate the validity of the diagnostic determination before undertaking his or her own more detailed waveform analysis. The shorter the time to a definitive diagnosis, the sooner that myocardial perfusion can be restored, with less damage to the heart and a lower risk for heart failure or death.

- a plurality of electrodes 20 are provided for attaching to the skin of a patient.
- the electrodes are disposable conductors with a conductive adhesive gel surface that sticks to the skin. Each conductor has a snap or clip that snaps or clips onto an electrode wire of the ECG system.
- the electrodes 20 are coupled to an ECG acquisition module 22 of the monitoring system that preconditions the signals received by the electrodes.
- Electrodes signals are coupled to an ECG processing module 26, generally by means of an electrical isolation arrangement 24 that protects the patient from shock hazards and also protects the ECG system when the patient is undergoing defibrillation, for instance.
- Optical isolators are generally used for electrical isolation.
- the processed ECG information is then displayed on an image display or printed in an ECG report by an output device 28.

- FIGURE 9a illustrates a typical normal ECG trace, where it is seen that the Q-R-S segments delineate the major electrical pulse of the trace, which is the pulse that stimulates a contraction of the left ventricle. Delineation of the QRS complex forms the basis for detecting the lesser perturbations of the trace, which is performed by the waveform segmenter 46.
- the waveform segmenter delineates the full sequence of trace segments including the P wave and the Q to U segments of the ECG trace including the S-T segment.
- a beat classifier 48 compares each new beat with previous beats and classifies beats as normal (regular) or abnormal (irregular) for the individual undergoing diagnosis.
- the classification of the beats enables an average beat analyzer 52 to define the characteristics of a normal heartbeat and the amplitudes and segment durations of an average beat are measured at 54.

- the measurements are illustrated as recorded in a measurement table 68 for the six leads of this example.
- the ECG waves and their measurements can be sent to an offline workstation with a report
- ECG lead signals are analyzed for particular patterns of elevated and depressed ST segments which relate to stenoses of specific
- the signal level of the ST segment 80 is at or very close to the nominal
- the ST segment 82 for a lead in proximity to the artery will be highly elevated as shown in FIGURE 9b, where the dashed line indicates the nominal baseline of the trace.
- the ST segment can be elevated 100 ⁇ or more.
- ECG leads proximate to the other side of the heart will exhibit a corresponding depression, which can be detected and correlated with the elevated trace for correlating identification of the ST elevation.
- the amount of ST elevation will vary as a function of the time and degree of stenosis. For example, shortly after the time of the event causing the obstruction, the ST segment of a lead will exhibit a relatively significant elevation 84 as shown in FIGURE 9c.
- the elevation will decrease, and the ST elevation 86 can appear as shown in FIGURE 9d.
- the ST segment will be only slightly elevated or depressed as shown at 88 in FIGURE 9e .
- ST depression is present when the ST segment is below the nominal baseline of the waveform.

- This inventive technique can identify one of the two main coronary arteries, the RC and the LM, or one of the two main branches of the LM, the LDA or the LCx, as the culprit artery.
- the cardiologist is then informed of the identity of the culprit artery as by identifying it in the ECG report, visually on a screen, on a display of ECG traces, audibly, or by other output means.
- the other inventors have developed an inventive display
- a monitoring system of the present invention can be used with a patient with chest pain who has just arrived at a hospital and needs an initial diagnosis, as well as with patients who have undergone intervention and who are being monitored for further coronary artery occlusions or
- FIGURE 10 a display 100 of the type described in Costa Ribalta et al . is shown.
- the graphic 102 on the left uses the limb leads which, as previously mentioned are approximately in a vertical plane.
- the graphic 102 uses the I, II, and III leads which are also developed from limb electrode signals.
- the graphic includes axes for the signals which are oriented in relation to the limb positions shown in FIGURE 2, with axis for the I lead being the horizontal (0°) axis in the drawing and the II and III lead axes disposed on opposite sides of the vertical (90°) AVF axis.
- the ends of the axes are scaled to 2 mm of ST elevation, the millimeter notation being familiar to most
- the translation from the electrical units measured by the ECG system to the millimeter notation is 100 ⁇ equals 2 millimeters.
- the axes in the graphic 102 are also seen to have + and - polarities.
- a lead exhibiting an ST elevation will have the data value plotted on the positive side of the axis from the origin, and ST depression measurements are plotted on the remaining negative side of the axis.
- the graphic 102 is seen to have six ST data values plotted on the axes of the graphic.
- the value of point 111 on the axis for the II lead, for example, is near the positive end of the axis. This is an ST elevation value approaching 2 mm in the scale of this drawing.
- the ST elevation value of the AVF lead is also approaching 2 mm as shown by point 113 near the + end of the AVF axis.
- the point 115 plotted on the AVL axis is seen to be on the negative side of that lead axis. In this example point 115 shows that ST depression of approximately 1 mm is present on the AVL lead.
- a similar graphic 104 is provided for the chest leads as shown at the right side of the display 100.
- axes for the chest leads are arrayed from VI through V6 in the same order as they are physically oriented on the chest.
- the VI axis is located at approximately the 112° position of the polar graphic and the other lead axes proceed counter-clockwise from this position. While this example uses only the six leads on the front (anterior) of the chest (FIGURE 3a) , it will be appreciated that axes for the other chest leads V7-V9 which continue around the torso to the back of the chest as shown in FIGURE 3b can also be included to further fill out the array of axes in the graphic 104.
- This graphic 104 uses + and - polarities for the ST elevation and depression values in the same manner as graphic 102.
- depression values are similarly plotted as points on the respective lead axes and the points connected to form a shape 114 in the same manner as graphic 102.
- the chest lead graphic 104 is presenting a slightly smaller shape 114 which is positioned in the lower right quadrant of the graphic, centered around the V4 lead location.
- the display 100 of FIGURE 11 is similar to that of FIGURE 10 but has been drawn to shown the millimeter values of the ST segment measurements adjacent to the respective lead axes.
- lead III is exhibiting ST depression of -0.5 mm, which is plotted on the negative side of the III lead axis and defines the greatest extension of the shape
- the chest lead V4 with a measured ST elevation of 0.6 mm defines the greatest extension of the shape 114 from the origin of the chest lead graphic 104. It is seen that the axes in this example are scaled to a maximum extension of ⁇ 1 mm.
- the locations of the ECG-derived shapes in the anatomically related graphics are used to visually identify suspect culprit coronary arteries.
- an ECG-derived shape which is located in the region indicated by the circled LAD will generally be symptomatic of
- a shape located around the left center of the graphic is usually indicative of a right coronary artery obstruction as indicated by the circled RCA. Obstruction of the left circumflex coronary artery is signaled by a shape located around the bottom center of the graphic as indicated by the circled LCx .
- the locations of ECG-derived shapes signaling possible LCx, RCA, and LAD obstruction are similarly shown in the chest lead graphic 104 by the circled letters.
- the graphic 104 shows an ST segment-delineated shape in the lower right quadrant of the graphic, indicative of obstruction of the left anterior descending coronary artery. It is seen that a clinician can take a quick look at the display 100 and immediately see which coronary artery is the probable cause of an ischemic condition.
- the examples below are of anatomically oriented displays indicating obstruction of particular
- FIGURE 13 the plotted ST elevation values of the chest leads in the horizontal graphic 104 delineate a sizeable shape 114 in a location of the graphic that is characteristic of LAD occlusion.
- the limb lead (vertical) graphic 102 shows only a very small shape 112 near the origin of the graphic, showing that virtually no ST elevation or depression has been measured by the limb leads.
- This display 100 would suggest to a clinician that the LAD is the culprit coronary artery.
- FIGURE 14 illustrates a display 100 showing both the lead axes and the respective ST elevation or depression measurements plotted on those axes.
- a sizeable shape 112 is formed in the limb lead graphic 102 by the significant ST elevation values measured for leads II, III, and aVF, and the ST depression values measured for leads I and aVL .
- Very little ST depression is measured by the chest leads as shown by the small shape 114 in the chest lead graphic 104.
- the large shape 112 in the lower left quadrant of the limb lead graphic 102 would suggest obstruction of the left circumflex (LCx) coronary artery.
- LCx left circumflex
- FIGURE 15 shows a sizeable shape 112 delineated by ST elevation and depression measurements made at the limb leads and used in the limb lead graphic 102.
- the location of the shape 112 at the left side of the graphic 102 corresponds to the right side of the patient's anatomy (see FIGURE 2) .
- the small shape 114 in the chest lead graphic 104 indicates virtually no ST elevation measured by the chest leads; only slight ST depression.
- the shapes 112,114 of this display 100 are suggestive of a right coronary artery (RCA) obstruction as indicated by the circled letters over the shape 112.
- RCA right coronary artery
- FIGURE 16 is an example of a display 100 which suggests that two coronary arteries are suspect.
- the shape 112 of the ST elevation data measured by the limb leads in the vertical lead graphic 102 suggests a possible occlusion of the LCx coronary artery.

- ST elevation is measured at periodic intervals, in this example, every five minutes.
- the outline ⁇ ,.,. ⁇ of the shape delineated by the ST elevation measurements at that time is retained on the display or saved to be called up and displayed as desired.
- the five successive measurement is made, the outline ⁇ ,.,. ⁇ of the shape delineated by the ST elevation measurements at that time is retained on the display or saved to be called up and displayed as desired.
- the five successive measurement is measured at periodic intervals, in this example, every five minutes.
- outlines ⁇ ,.,. ⁇ acquired over time and displayed in the limb lead graphic 102 show a progression indicating an increasingly deteriorating condition of LCx occlusion (see FIGURE 12) .
- the five successive outlines ⁇ ,.,. ⁇ displayed in the chest lead graphic 104 indicate a possible progression of LAD coronary artery occlusion.
- the simultaneous display of the successively produced outlines immediately depict trends of the patient's condition over time.
- the different outlines may be differently drawn or colored on the display for ease of interpretation.
- ECG measurements such as amplitudes and durations of Q wave, R wave, T wave and interwave intervals such as QRS and QT may also be used as applicable in the identification of the culprit coronary artery.
- the use of higher order lead sets including 13- to 18- lead ECG systems and 64- and 128-lead ECG body surface maps can provide additional incremental information to enhance the accuracy of culprit coronary artery identification. For systems with fewer than 12 leads, additional lead signals can be derived to implement the technique of the present invention with potentially reduced accuracy.
- thresholds of ST elevation can be used for different ages, genders, and leads which are determined by appropriate AHA guidelines or other criteria.
- the graphical display can be
- an outlined area can be highlighted if a male patient between 30 and 40 years of age presents ST elevation in leads V2 and V3 of greater than 2.5 mm (250 ⁇ ) and ST elevation in excess of 1 mm (100 ⁇ ) for all other leads. For a female, the area would be highlighted if ST elevation in the critical leads exceeds 1.5 mm (150 ⁇ ) .
- Other threshold criteria may be used as appropriate standards are developed .
- FIGURE 19 is a cross- sectional view through the chest at the heart level and shows the use of additional posterior leads V7, V8, and V9 and additional frontal leads V3R, V4R, and V5R from additional chest electrodes.
- FIGURE 19 is a cross- sectional view through the chest at the heart level and shows the use of additional posterior leads V7, V8, and V9 and additional frontal leads V3R, V4R, and V5R from additional chest electrodes.
- Ambiguities can arise in the graphic displays when these extended lead values are plotted together with the standard lead values. These ambiguities result from the electrical forces produced by the heart (the light shaded region at the bottom center of the cross- section) which are subject to a phenomenon known as reciprocal changes.
- the V9 lead is opposite the location of the V2 lead.
- the voltages of the opposing electrodes will be polar opposites of each other.
- the voltage of V9 When the voltage of V9 is positive, the voltage of V2 will be negative.
- the V2 voltage when the V2 lead is experiencing ST elevation, the V2 voltage will be plotted as a positive signal on the V2-symbol side of the V2 axis of the polar diagram, and when the V2 lead is experiencing ST depression, a negative voltage results which is plotted on the opposite side of the origin on the V2 axis of the diagram.
- extended leads V7, V8, and V9 have been rotated clockwise to about the 60°, 70°, and 80° positions on the polar diagram. When so located, the extended lead vectors no longer are opposite the vectors of other leads. In particular, it is seen that the V9 vector no longer opposes the V2 vector. Similarly, the extended leads V3R, V4R and V5r are positioned at approximately the 210°, 220°, and 230° axes of the polar diagram. Thus, each lead vector is on its own axis and it is clear what value was recorded from each electrode. This may be due to reciprocal changes but what is displayed is what was recorded.
- FIGURES 21a and 21b are exemplary polar diagrams for a patient with inferoposterior myocardial
- the horizontal axis polar diagram of FIGURE 21a shows a negative value for extended lead V3R, extending the graphical area defined by negative V1-V5 lead values. A second, smaller area is defined by elevated values of the V6-V8 leads.
- the frontal axis graphic is shown in the polar diagram of FIGURE 21b.
- FIGURES 22a and 22b show linear or rectilinear, rather than polar, presentations of the lead values.
- leads V1-V6 are calibrated in large boxes around a center (zero) line, with each box corresponding to 100 ⁇ in the vertical direction.
- the extended leads V5R, V4R and V3R, and V7-V9 are calibrated in small boxes, each corresponding to 50 ⁇ in the vertical direction in keeping with the relative magnitudes of these lead signals.
- FIGURE 22a the lead values of FIGURE 10 have been plotted in each lead column and connected by a line, with the area under the line indicating the culprit artery.
- the individual lead signals can be plotted in rows rather than columns.
- FIGURE 22b is similar to FIGURE 22a, except that instead of plotting the lead values as points or circles, the lead columns of the display are filled to the level of the lead signal values in the manner of a bar chart.
- the values of lead V3 is missing from the lead data.
- the dashed cross-hatching of the V3 lead column represents a different color or shading that indicates to the viewer that this lead value is missing from the data set but has been estimated based on other lead data.
- the level of the shading of the V3 column is an average or interpolation of the adjacent (V2 and V4) lead values.
- the build-up of the shaded columns again points to the culprit artery, and with a display that shows the viewer that the V3 lead data was missing and has been estimated.
- the polar display may use shading or colors to indicate missing leads in like manner.
- Another variation is to color outlined areas of the polar display within the polar range of extended leads with different colors or shading than areas defined by the standard lead values.
