Method for evaluation of ECG signals to detect heart beat irregularities, whereby the measured heart beat is compared with stored templates and a probability analysis undertaken to determine the risk of conditions such as PAF

摘要

Method in which a partial region, e.g. the P-wave region, of an ECG signal is used to form one or more signal templates. An actual heart beat signal is compared with the templates and correlation coefficients determined. The correlation coefficients are subject to a statistical test the results of which are probabilities for certain conditions. The invention also relates to a corresponding device.
