Abstract

A method and apparatus for detecting tachycardia in a patient employs a digitally-sampled electrocardiographic signal input to a digital processor employing a Hidden Markov Modeling algorithm to eliminate confusion between far-field and near-field cardiac events to provide a more accurate measurement of cardiac rate for diagnosis and treatment.
