METHOD AND MEASURING ARRANGEMENT FOR MONITORING SPECIFIC ACTIVITY PARAMETERS OF THE HUMAN HEART

摘要

A method for monitoring specific activity parameters of the human heart, where ECG and PCG signal monitoring is performed simultaneously by at least two electrodes placed on the chest in such a way that the ECG signal is utilized as a reference time point during PCG monitoring, and monitoring is performed with a measuring unit consisting of a couple of measuring heads containing combined ECG and PCG electrodes, a controlling master measuring head and a slave measuring head performing synchronized implementation, and a computing evaluating unit which is in wireless data communication connection with the above unit and is capable of data processing. ECG and PCG signals are simultaneously monitored by two measuring heads, each comprising an ECG electrode and a PCG electrode, one of the measuring heads serving as a master measuring head and the other one of the measuring heads serving as a slave measuring head.
