Abstract
Continuous monitoring of electrocardiograms is routine practice in intensive care units. Much effort has been devoted to the development of automatic systems capable of processing ECGs. Template matching, thresholding, or syntactic pattern detection are used to identify the characteristic ECG waves. However, many of these programs are designed to produce an ECG diagnosis from limited time spans of standard lead ECG registrations. The digitized raw signal must be stored on a mass storage device prior to processing. Such programs do not conform to real time requirements.
