A method and apparatus for arrhythmia detection comprise steps and means for acquiring at least one continuous analog signal produced by an ECG system, producing at least one digital signal based on the analog signal, producing a plurality of scalar signals from the at least one digital signal, extracting features from the scalar signal, and plotting the extracted features in a feature space having a number of dimensions equal to the number of extracted features. A normal QRS complex is identified based on the population of QRS complexes located within clusters of QRS features within the feature space. Subsequent QRS complexes acquired after identification of the normal QRS complex are labeled based on a plurality of rules and the location of each subsequent QRS complex with respect to both prior and subsequent normal QRS complexes.
