Abstract
A heartbeat rate measuring system for monitoring a patient's EKG signal and estimating heartbeat rate. The system includes an artifact detection apparatus for filtering the EKG signal to detect the occurrence of a heartbeat artifact, and for inhibiting the measuring heartbeat intervals whenever an artifact is detected. The system therefore estimates heartbeat rate based solely on measurements of time intervals between actual heartbeats.
