ABSTRACT:
A system for monitoring the heart of a patient. The system is comprised of a remote station having a device for generating an electrocardiogram of the patient, a device for detecting predetermined cardiological events in the patient in communication with the generating device and a transmitter for transmitting the electrocardiogram. The system also is comprised of a central station in continuous communication with the transmitter for receiving the transmitted electrocardiogram when a predetermined cardiological event occurs. There is also a database in communication with the central station for storing patient data and providing patient data to the central station. Additionally, there is a display device in communication with the central station and the database for displaying the patient data and the transmitted electrocardiogram. A method of monitoring the heart of a patient. The method includes the first step of taking an electrocardiogram of a patient at a remote station. Then, there is the step of automatically detecting predetermined cardiological events in the electrocardiogram. Next, there is the step of transmitting the electrocardiogram to a central station along with identification of the patient if a predetermined cardiological event occurs and immediately after it occurs. Then, there is the step of retrieving data about the patient from a database in communication with the central station. Next, there is the step of transmitting the patient's data to the central station.
