MANAGEMENT OF SERIAL ECGS AND CONTROL STRATEGIES FOR THE COMPARISON PROCESS

Serial ECG management and control of the comparison process should be dynamically driven by patient data. The functional architecture requir ements are specified for a computerized ECG processing system integrat ing serial analysis. The concepts of reference investigations and temp oral events are first explained. A conceptual reference model is propo sed which stratifies the serial analysis process into a few generic st rategies which will be instantiated into several types of serial compa rison processing tasks as a function of the clinical evolution of the patient. This model is an extension of the OEDIPE core data model deve loped and implemented during the AIM #2026 project.
