Portable automatic heart rhythm anomaly detector - provides registration of anomalous signals from heart and may be carried bodily by patient

摘要

Appts. for automatic detection and registration of anomalies in the rhythm of the heart from the electrocardiogram comprises a circuit (2) with an integrator (6) producing analogue voltages which are proportional to the sepn. between the R-peaks and which are sequentially temporarily stored in 2 intermediate memory-circuits (7a, b). A comparator (8) compares the values in the memories and when a predetermined value is exceeded, an information storage device is actuated which stores the pathological heart signal change together with the immediately preceding and following signals. The appts. can be carried on the body of the patient.
