Abstract
A method and apparatus for monitoring multiple aspects of a patient's cardiac condition which is portable microprocessor based, and can be programmed to select (for storage in random access memory (RAM)) anomalous heartbeat waveforms while rejecting normal waveforms. In addition, the cardiac monitor gives real time warnings of erratic heartbeat waveforms and stores these waveforms for future analysis. The cardiac monitor also detects and energizes an alarm signal if a patient's heartbeat skips a predetermined number of beats.
