title: Management of serial ECGs and control strategies for the comparison process.
abstract: Serial ECG management and control of the comparison process should be dynamically driven by patient data. The functional architecture requirements are specified for a computerized ECG processing system integrating serial analysis. The concepts of reference investigations and temporal events are first explained. A conceptual reference model is proposed which stratifies the serial analysis process into a few generic strategies which will be instantiated into several types of serial comparison processing tasks as a function of the clinical evolution of the patient. This model is an extension of the OEDIPE core data model developed and implemented during the AIM #2026 project.
