A method and apparatus for recording electrocardiogram information, in which ST deviation can readily be visualized and ischemia can be diagnosed with ease at the same time. Compressed recorded waveforms of electrocardiogram waveforms are partitioned and recorded as compressed waveforms of a plurality of lines in a first recording area of a recording paper for recording electrocardiogram information. A predetermined number of lines of the recorded compressed electrocardiogram waveforms in the first recording area are selected in a second recording area neighboring the first recording area, the selected waveforms are superimposed in synchronism with a predetermined characteristic point of the selected waveforms, and the waveforms are recorded while changing location in the area neighboring the predetermined lines of the first recording area. An HR graph and an ST-trend graph of the electrocardiogram waveforms recorded in the first recording area are recorded in recording lines approximately perpendicular to the recording lines of the compressed electrocardiogram waveforms from a position of a recording starting line of the compressed electrocardiogram waveforms of the first recording area.

Method and apparatus for recording electrocardiogram information

An electrocardiographic waveform recorder, analyzer, printer and display for superimposing in synchronization, for a predetermined period of time, ECG waveforms. The waveforms are superimposed and synchronized with a predetermined characteristic ECG point (the R-wave peak point) and a plural number of waveforms are expressed while the superimposed positions, at which they are expressed, is changed at fixed intervals of the waveforms, permitting state of deviation recognition. In addition, an ST trend graph and a heart rate output are used for comparisons with environmental conditions. Also, data is recorded continuously over time and displayed and printed at intervals corresponding to the occurrence of the characteristic point of the waveform which permits change in the superimposed waveform display positions. A P wave, a T wave and a QRS wave can be extracted, along with their crest values and the crest value at an arbitrary position in an ST region. A T-wave peak may serve as a characteristic time point value. Outputs can be the P-wave trend graph and the P wave, along with the trend graph of the QRS-wave peak and the QRS wave and a trend graph of the T-wave peak and the T wave all possibly displayed on the same time axis, in the same time interval display region.
