Medical device systems include processing circuitry configured to acquire sensed cardiac signals associated with cardiac activity of a heart of a patient, and to analyze the sensed cardiac signals to determine if a noise signal is present within the cardiac signals.

A process for measuring heart beats fiducial points and classifying heart beats includes sampling a raw ECG signal,—providing a first filtered signal,—providing a second filtered signal, detecting left and right limits data for the beats in said second filtered signal, and receiving the first filtered signal and receiving said left and right limits data, sampling and storing ECG curve data of beats from said first filtered signal synchronized by said left and right limits data and extracting fiducial points of said beats from said ECG curve data, said fiducial points including at least the QRS points values of the beats, and classifying each of said beats in classes based on a correlation of its ECG curve data with respect to average ECG curves data of classes of previously averaged classified beats.

Provided is an electrocardiogram lead guide system. The electrocardiogram lead guide system may include: an electrocardiograph attached to a part of a body of a patient and acquiring posture information and electrocardiogram signals using a plurality of sensors; and a user terminal providing guide information for guiding the attachment direction of the electrocardiograph based on the posture information.

The present invention relates to methods for marking positions for or for positioning of six ECG chest electrodes based on a subjects body height, which allows a reproducible placement of the electrodes in serial independent ECG measurements. The present invention further relates to a device for placement of ECG electrodes which implements said method, and methods and uses applying said device. Hence, the present invention provides an accurate and reproducible, easy to use and low-cost method and device for ECG chest electrode positioning, especially in serial examinations and in obese subjects by minimizing the mistakes in ECG chest electrode placement depending on the subjective and inaccurate defining of anatomic remarks for electrode positions.

To provide a belt that can be closely attached to an upper arm, and an electrocardiographic measurement apparatus. A belt includes a belt body formed in a band shape, and an electrode including a plurality of electrode pieces disposed on a main surface of the belt body, located side by side in a short direction of the belt body, and connected in series by a signal line.
