RESUMO
A new computer-assisted vector-cardiogram analyzing system Model TJ-IV developed based on Model TJ-III, has been using in the routine clinical work in order to evaluate its features and performances. The system employs a 586 computer with a CPU of 120 MHz, a special low-noise amplifier, a 12 bit A/D tranducer and the C language for programming. The examinations of 206 cases were performed and all the vector-cardiograms were analyzed by the computer system and by manipulative methods respectively. In comparison with the manipulative methods the system has a very high accuracy of picture-recognition. The accuracy for distinguishing the onsets and terminals of orthogonal ECG waves is 98% while that for distinguishing the peaks and troughs of the waves is 100%. These waves include P, Q, R, S, R' and S' waves. The new system is capable to provide the parameters of more than 591 items, including 46 newly-developed diagnostic parameters. The testing and analyzing of 12 parameters of orthogonal ECG and plane VCG have proved that the results of the aboved two methods have no difference. The new system has a very high accuracy of picture-recognition and index calculation with many technical problems existing in the old versions, solved--a great improvement of safety and anti-interference and an increase of the detecting & diagnostic speed.
