The invention relates to the analysis of ECG data by exploiting
computerized three-dimensional spatial presentation of the measured data
using the vector concept. A three-dimensional presentation of the human
heart may be correlated with waveforms specific for standard ECG or
derived ECG signals based on the dipole approximation of the heart
electrical activity. The three-dimensional heart model may be rotated,
and the ECG signals are interactively linked to the model. In the
visualization process, different types of signal presentation may be
used, including graphical presentation of the heart vector hodograph,
graphical presentation of the signal waveform in an arbitrary chosen
point on the heart, and graphical presentation of the map of
equipotential lines on the heart in a chosen moment. Additional tools for
analyzing ECG data are also provided which may be interactively used with
the display tools.
