REJECTION OF NOISES CAUSED BY POSTURAL CHANGES DURING ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION DETECTION

摘要

A system comprising a processor that includes a cardiac signal vector module and an ischemia detection module. The cardiac signal vector module is configured to measure a first dominant vector corresponding to a direction and magnitude of maximum signal power of a first segment of at least one cardiac cycle of a subject and at least a second dominant vector corresponding to a direction and magnitude of maximum signal power of a second segment of the cardiac cycle from an electrical cardiac signal. The ischemia detection module is configured to measure a change in the first dominant vector, to form a difference by subtracting a measured change in the second dominant vector from a measured change in the first dominant vector, and to declare whether an ischemic event occurred using the difference.
