title: [Value of a computerized system of real time analysis of arrhythmias in the intensive care unit. Description of the ATREC system].
abstract: Automated systems of real analysis of arrhythmias, such as the ATREC system, provide an immediate, simplified rhythmological diagnosis which is directly exploitable therapeutically, especially in the Intensive Care Unit. The basic system consists of four computerized monitors and a central surveillance post. The QRS complexes are detected and numerized in two channels and according to four parameters; period, width, amplitude, area. The results appear on different tables: events, rhythm, extrasystoles, frequency histograms. The validity of the system has been tested, notably by re-reading of the traces recorded on magnetic tape and the results are entirely satisfactory.
