title: Dynamic mini-computer graphics analysis of long-term electrocardiographic tape recordings.
abstract: The full graphic capabilities of a minicomputer have been applied to rapid and versatile analysis of long-term electrocardiographic tape recordings. Interfaced to a standard Avionics tape analyzer, the system's multiple display options provide a powerful tool for arrhythmia detection in a reasonable amount of time. Detection accuracy of the system compares very favorably with previously published figures for computer EKG monitoring. Quantitation of arrhythmic beats is an integral feature of the tape scanning. A method for analog display of randomly selectable EKG complexes is also described.
