zao ecg axis

This piece of software Is useful to find the electrocardiographic axis of QRS complex from the Frontal leads

QUICK START:

1. First  I recommend to Read - Study  the two articles of Zao. You can find them in Docs dir 

2. In order to use the circular reference system, one first looks at the
  tracing of the successive limb leads I, II, III, aVR, aVL and aVF, to 
  determine the polarity of a given deflection; i.e. whether the QRS complex 
  is positive, negative or equiphasic. Then, starting with the innermost 
  circle  for lead I (the white semicircle being positive,blue negative, and 
  b o u n d a r y lines being equiphasic) and progressing outwards to leads 
  II, III, aVR, aVL and aVF, one proceeds to match the semicircles with the 
   polarities of the QRS complex previously obtained from the tracing.

3.  For example, if its polarities in the successive limb leads are 
    pos., pos., pos., neg., equiphasic, pos., then referring to the circular 
     reference s y s t e m gives a direction of + 60. 

Static Image Arrow - Axis points to 90 degrees

To compile you need:

OpenGl, Rust, FLTK, fltk-rs

For Debian I do:

sudo apt-get install libx11-dev libxext-dev libxft-dev libxinerama-dev libxcursor-dev libxrender-dev libxfixes-dev libpango1.0-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev

To Run 'cargo run' or 'cargo bundle' o 'cargo bundle --release'

I have tested on a Linux Intel Machine running Ubuntu and Debian And works perfectly well

Thanks to MoAlyousef (Mohammed Alyousef) the author of fltk-rs.

This work is a homage to all pioneers of electrocardiography, The ecg_axis was described by Dr Zao n 1952 and 1984
