Real time recognition of complete atrioventricular blocks.
Common heart arrhythmia monitors are limited to the electrical activity of the ventricles. Severe cardiac malfunctions exhibit typical defects of atrioventricular conduction which often can be efficiently treated with medicine or electrotherapy. The method described here enables the detection of complete atrioventricular blocks and may be used for the improvement of arrhythmia monitoring.
