如何获取我的心电图数据?
我佩戴了心脏监测器一个月,现在想要获取数据。我已经拨打电话并通过电子邮件与“生物遥测公司(Bio Telemetry, a Phillips company)”进行了联系,但我收到的只是每一天的“每日患者报告”一堆纸张。(此外,我还收到了BCBS的账单,表示他们不会支付生物遥测公司9,000美元的费用)。我对HN的第一个问题是:
你有什么建议可以帮助我获取实际数据吗?
我的第二个问题是针对非美国读者的:
9,000美元的费用是否显得过高?
背景:在四月份的某个10分钟内,我出现了双重视力。担心这可能是短暂性脑缺血发作,医生要求进行了大量检查。心脏监测器是为了检查可能导致血栓的心律失常。我很惊讶研究发现了室性心动过速;请参见:https://www.fraserphysics.com/page2_ecg_report.pdf
巧合的是,我一直在思考心电图(ECG),并为分析它们编写了代码;请参见我书中的第6.3.1节,链接为:https://www.fraserphysics.com/book.pdf。我的第三个问题是针对任何了解心电图分析技术的人:
我在第6.3.1节中描述的分析技术是否有趣或新颖?
附言:测试结果并没有让我感到非常不安。我相信我的事件与我经常出现的偏头痛有关。

I wore a heart monitor for a month and want the data. I've called and
exchanged email with "Bio Telemetry, a Phillips company", and all I've
received is a stack of paper with a "Daily Patient Report" for each
day. (Well I've also received a statement from BCBS saying that they
won't pay Bio Telemetry $9,000). My first/primary question to HN is:<p>Do you have advice on how to get the actual data?<p>My second question for non-US readers:<p>Does $9,000 seem excessive?<p>Background: For 10 minutes in April I was seeing double. Fearing that
it was a transient ischemic attack, MDs ordered lots of tests. The
heart monitor was to check for arrhythmias that could cause a clot. I
was surprised that the study found ventricular tachycardia; see:
https://www.fraserphysics.com/page2_ecg_report.pdf<p>Coincidentally, I have been thinking about ECGs and have written code
for analyzing them; see Section 6.3.1 of my book at
https://www.fraserphysics.com/book.pdf. My third question is for
anyone who knows about ECG analysis technology:<p>Is the analysis technique I describe in Section 6.3.1 interesting/novel?<p>PS. None of the test results are very disturbing. I believe that my
event was related to the migraines that I have all too often.
