Abstract
Abstract In order that in those processes in which vectors (2, 3) and vector loops (1) are determined from the measured values and which e.g. represent the heart function, is possible to better determine changes on loops brought about by changes in the heart, it is proposed that a vector product (4) should be determined from vectors determined at successive times and that the path of such vector products should be followed over a period.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
61 words
A process for determining heart operations from acquired measured values on a living body comprising detecting electrical potentials from the body over a sequence of times of the heart cycle, deriving a plurality of vectors therefrom, selecting first and second vectors therefrom, obtaining the vector products of said first and second vectors, and determining from said vector products the heart operations.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
61 words
A process for determining heart operations from acquired measured values on a living body comprising detecting electrical potentials from the body over a sequence of times of the heart cycle, deriving a plurality of vectors therefrom, selecting first and second vectors therefrom, obtaining the vector products of said first and second vectors, and determining from said vector products the heart operations.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
A process according to claim 1 further comprising the step of determining from said plurality of vectors at the starting points and final points of the said heart cycle.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
A process according to claim 2 further comprising the step of adding the said obtained vector products representing the said heart cycle.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
A process according to claim 1 further comprising the step of determining the spatial pattern of the said vector products.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
A process according to claim 4 wherein the pattern of vector products is determined in a period under stressed and unstressed conditions.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
21 words
A process according to claim 5 wherein the pattern for the stressed and unstressed conditions is represented graphically in juxtaposed form.
