It is now common knowledge that an electrocardiogram is essential for diagnosing heart disease. However, even in modern times when electrocardiograms have spread to every corner of the country, correct interpretation of electrocardiograms is still not an easy task. It is often difficult to pinpoint it. Recently, advanced diagnostic methods that utilize computers, etc. for information processing, automatic measurement, and tomography have been gradually developed and put into practical use. However, there are many cases where it is difficult to make a determination using conventional waveform analysis alone. Heart disease is becoming more widespread with the development of civilization, and as a type of adult disease, it is extremely important to detect hidden diseases early even in people who have no particular symptoms and advise them on appropriate preventive measures. To this end, it goes without saying that there is an absolute need for methods and devices that can detect diseases that cannot be overlooked in a simple and easy manner.

Therefore, the electrocardiogram is A-D converted, digitized, and then subjected to spectrum analysis using Fourier transform. Information processing is performed in the form of amplitude spectrum, phase spectrum, and phase difference spectrum, and the results are graphically expressed as cathode rays. By displaying and recording on a tube (hereinafter referred to as CRT) and recording paper, the important characteristics of the electrocardiogram can be conveyed without losing any of the important features, and the electrocardiogram waveform can be directly observed by looking at the shape and arrangement of the displayed figures. Thinking that it would be much easier and more reliable to discover the nature of a disease than by making a judgment based on it, we implemented this series of work methods on actual examples, and as a result, we were able to obtain good results as expected.

In FIG. 7, the harmonic distribution of the amplitude spectrum (b) decreases rapidly. Furthermore, in the phase difference spectra shown in (C) of these figures, the width of the distribution disturbance is quite large;
