A SYSTEM AND A METHOD FOR ANALYSING ECG CURVATURE FOR LONG QT SYNDROME AND DRUG INFLUENCE

Application 2626/CHENP/2006 published 2007-06-08, filed 2006-07-19
The present invention relates to a system or a method for analysing drug influence on ECG curvature and Long QT Syndrome where at least one among a number of different parameters is isolated, which system has a input means connected to an ECG source, where the different parameters of a received ECG curvature and indicated and/or isolated and for indicating possible symptoms which relates to or are indications of certain diseases, where said diseases are known to influence the ECG curvature. The aim of the invention is to achieve a system and a method for diagnosing Long QT Syndrome in an objective, fast and effective way by indication of a number of symptoms derivable from an ECG curve. Further aim of the invention is to achieve an effective test of drug influence on ECG curvature. This can be achieved with the system previously described if a first number of selected parameters is combined in at least a first mathematical analysis, where the result of the analysis can be represented as a point in a coordinate system comprising at least one axis where the system can compare the actual placement in the coordinate system with a number of reference parameters stored in the system for indicating symptoms or diseases having influence on the ECG curvature, where the system analyses the QT curvature of the ECG curvature for indicating Long QT syndrome. Hereby, it is achieved that any symptom of hereditary or acquired Long QT Syndrome having an indication (influence) in the ECG curvature can be detected in an objective, automated and very fast way.
