COMPENSATING FOR MISSING LEADS OF AN ELECTROCARDIOGRAM

摘要

To compensate for missing leads in an electrocardiogram, the following steps are followed: receiving electrocardiogram waveform data from first electrodes attached to a subject, the data indicating a plurality of electrocardiogram waveforms that are continuously generated on a time axis; storing the received electrocardiogram waveform data; calculating coefficients for deriving estimated electrocardiogram waveform data of the subject, from first electrocardiogram waveform data that are stored; and deriving the estimated electrocardiogram waveform data of the subject, based on second electrocardiogram waveform data that are acquired after the first electrocardiogram waveform data are stored and the coefficients.
