Abstract
This is a method and apparatus for the automated discrimination of cardiac events of interest, including P-waves, R-waves, T-waves and specific arrhythmic sequences, in EGM signals for data storage in an implantable monitor or to control operations of an implantable cardiac stimulator through the use of Hidden Markov Modeling techniques and a reduced set of observations.
