Method of classifying heart rhythms by analyzing several morphology defining metrics derived for a patient's QRS complex

A method, useable in implantable cardioverter defibrillators, for classifying heart rhythms of a patient by means of electrogram morphology. A number of features (metrics) of the electrogram are measured to form a description of the shape of individual electrograms, and the metrics are then converte...

Zusammenfassung:A method, useable in implantable cardioverter defibrillators, for classifying heart rhythms of a patient by means of electrogram morphology. A number of features (metrics) of the electrogram are measured to form a description of the shape of individual electrograms, and the metrics are then converted into a cardiac rhythm diagnosis by means of a pattern classification technique.
