Device and method for determining the location and/or the extent of ischemias and/or infarcts in the heart of a patient

摘要

A device for determining the location and/or the extent of ischemias and/or infarcts comprises a multichannel measuring system (2, 4) for measuring electric and/or magnetic field quantities (variables) which are generated by a cardiac activity during at least a portion of a cardiac cycle at a number of measuring points. Connected to the multichannel measuring system (2, 4) is a classifier (18) which is capable of learning and whose inputs can be fed input values which correspond to the measured values measured during the at least one portion of the cardiac cycle. The classifier (18) which is capable of learning is connected to a visual means (22) of representation which serves to display the location and/or the extent of the ischemia and/or of the infarct as a function of localisation data output at the outputs (20) of the classifier (18) which is capable of learning. Likewise claimed is a method for operating the device for locating ischemias and/or infarcts. IMAGE
