Abstract
Abnormal cardiac activity in a patient may be detected by acquiring an electrocardiogram waveform associated with a first level of physiologic activity of the patient and an electrocardiogram waveform associated with a second, different level of physiologic activity of the patient. QRS complexes of the electrocardiogram waveforms are compared to identify an abnormal portion of the QRS complex of the electrocardiogram waveform associated with the second level of physiologic activity. The abnormal portion of the QRS complex is processed to detect abnormal physiologic activity.
