Distinctive electrocardiogram (EeG) patterns are created when the heart is beating normally and when a dangerous arrhythmia is present. Some devices which monitor the EeG and react to arrhythmias parameterize the ECG signal and make a diagnosis based on the parameters. The author discusses the use of a neural network to classify the EeG signals directly.
