Abstract

Computer method and apparatus of analyzing ECG signals of a subject include receiving a subject electrocardiogram signal and comparing it against signal patterns of known cardiac syndromes. A library of example predefined signals is employed. Distance measures indicating similarity of the subject signal to the example predefined signals are produced and form a sequence of vectors. The sequence of vectors are input into a classifier which determines existence of signal patterns indicative of any cardiac syndromes in the subject.
