Electrocardiograph and display method for electrocardiograph

Abstract

A portable electrocardiograph having a display function and a display method for the electrocardiograph are disclosed in which the information on display can be easily recognized visually. In measuring an electrocardiographic waveform using an electrocardiograph (1), the electrocardiograph (1) is held in position by a grip including a negative electrode (14) while at the same time pressing a contact section including a positive electrode (16) against an electrode contact portion other than the right hand of the subject. In the electrocardiograph (1), the measurement result such as an electrocardiographic waveform is displayed on a display unit (10) during the measurement operation. The measurement method is divided into what is called the induction mode I in which the contact section including the positive electrode (16) is pressed against the left hand of the subject, and what is called the induction mode II in which the contact section including the positive electrode (16) is pressed against the lower left abdomen of the subject. In the measurement conducted according to induction mode I, the measurement result is displayed in horizontal position on the display (10), while in the measurement conducted in the induction mode II, the measurement result is displayed in vertical position on the display (10).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an electrocardiograph and a display method in the electrocardiograph, in particular, an electrocardiograph and a display method in the electrocardiograph that are easy to visually recognize the display in a portable electrocardiograph with a display function. Background technique [0002] An effective diagnostic method for cardiac diseases such as myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, and anemic heart disease includes a method using an electrocardiograph. In order to diagnose such heart diseases more effectively, it is best to use electrocardiograms when abnormalities such as chest pain and throbbing occur in daily life, and correlate them with early detection and appropriate treatment. Therefore, in the past, a method has been adopted in which, in the case of using an electrocardiograph called a so-called 24-hour electrocardiograph in the measurement of the electrocardiogram waveform, the electrocardiogram waveform o...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, when the electrocardiogram waveform is measured by holding the grip portion including the sensing electrode at one end of the main body of the electrocardiograph by hand, and making the sensing electrode contact the chest or abdomen as the electrode contact site, the measurement result displayed on the display unit The direction of the (graph) does not match the direction in which the subject can visually recognize the display in the state of the measurement posture, and there is a problem that it is difficult to see the display

In addition, if the posture is changed to make the display easier to see, and the measurement posture is broken, there is a problem that normal measurement cannot be performed
