Abstract The invention of the electrocardiogram provides rich information for the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, but the information behind the electrocardiogram is far more than that. The new generation of high-frequency ECG technology can mine deeper human physiological information and further make up for the shortcomings of conventional ECG in the diagnosis of myocardial ischemia and the evaluation of autonomic nerves system status. Starting from the principle and development history of high-frequency ECG technology, this paper summarized the key technologies of high-frequency ECG technology in four aspects including signal sensing, acquisition system, signal denoising, and feature engineering. Based on the development of these technologies, this paper further summarized the achievements and applications of high-frequency ECG technology in the clinical practice of myocardial ischemia and autonomic nerves system status assessment, and analyzed and discussed the technical limitations of high-frequency ECG in practical application and the future development direction.

Key words： high frequency ECG intelligent medical treatment big data feature engineering
