Abstract

In order to facilitate the analysis of 24-hour tape recordings of ECG for rhythm by the AZTEC technique, we have configured a dual-processor system. It samples the ECG signal from a tape playback unit at a rate of 7501.88 Hz, allowing analysis at 30 x real time. An approach to error recognition and containment for the program, which utilizes the sampling of events, is discussed. Steps are taken to reduce errors caused by human sampling of "high risk" regions of the record.
