Abstract

A computer processing system for ambulatory ECGs is described. The main objective of the design is a reliable and flexible tool for research studies on cardiac dysrhythmias. This is provided by several verification features inserted into the interaction with the system in order to permit voluntary operator intervention during the waveform detection and classification operations. Intermediary storage files are created to receive data segments of special interest which may thus be subjected to a more detailed analysis if desired. Most of the software is written in FORTRAN language and implemented on a PDP-11 computer (Digital Equipment Corp.). To date, the system has been used primarily to quantiate spontaneous occurrence of dysrhythmias and to evaluate the pharmacological effects of antiarrhythmic medications.
