Data Dictionary: The data dictionary of 12-lead interface includes secondary data dictionary and multilevel data dictionary. Use "Data Dictionary" to insert diagnostic terms. You can add your own technical terms or arrange the sequence of terms according to your need. (As Figure 74).
Page 108
Here we introduce how to edit directory. "Add" can add the term you entered in the blank into directory. "Delete" can delete the selected term from the directory. "Move top" can put the selected term to the first line of the directory. By the operation, you can place the common terms on the top of the directory conveniently.
Print and preview: the functions are same as the "Print" and "Preview" in "Diagnosis", it can print report with 12-lead ECG. Attention: in this dialog box, there are two print methods (“Horizontal”, “Vertical”). See figure 9.2.3 FCG is to distill some reference information hidden from 12-lead ECG waves. FCG is used to diagnose the patient with miocardial infarction history by analyzing the abnormal Q waves and locating comparing them according to the theory that Q wave is no more than 1/4 of the main wave and Q duration is less 0.04s.

Figure 81 In default, enlarged wave of six-lead single beat displays on the screen so that you can observe whether the enlarged beats have notching, slurring and beading. You can click "Leads combination style" to select which leads to be displayed in six panes. In order to observe conveniently, a list box is given below the HR trend graph for gain adjustment, where you can select the enlargement factor for single beat.
9.2.5 QTD(QT dispersion, QTd) is the difference between the max and the min value of the QT interval in 12-lead ECG, which reflects the inhomogeneity of ventricular myocardium repolarization mainly, and which stands for difference of refractory period in ventricular myocardium (As Figure 82).

Figure 84 RR Interval Histogram is a graphic mode which reflects the distribution of the RR interval at a period of time (such as 1 hour, 12 hours, 24 hours). The horizontal axis expresses the R-R interval, and the vertical axis expresses the corresponding number of heartbeats. The shape of RR Interval Histogram intuitively reflects circumstance of HRV.

10.3 Inspection and Maintenance of lead cables and electrodes 10.3.1 The conduction of lead cables can be detected by using a multimeter through checking each lead cable. The resistance of each cable from the electrode plug to the semi-circular interface of lead cable connector should be less than 10 Ω. The integrity of the lead cables must be checked regularly, and any damage to them will cause a false waveform on the ECG for corresponding lead or all leads.
