Device For Predicting Tachyarrhythmias And/Or Atrial Arrhythmias

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for predicting tachyarrhythmias and/or atrial arrhythmias with recording means that record electric cardiac signals of a heart and with evaluating means that evaluate the recorded electric cardiac signals. In order to transmit the recorded cardiac signals to the evaluating means, the recording means are connected to the evaluating means. The device also comprises time means (5) that furnish circadian time signals, whereby associated circadian time signals which are assigned to the recorded electric cardiac signals and/or other electric cardiac signals, which are derived from the recorded electric cardiac signals. The inventive device also comprises memory means (6), which are coupled to the evaluating means (4) and which contain normal circadian cardiac data and/or other normal circadian cardiac data, and comprises output means (7), which are coupled to the evaluating means (4) and which transmits electric reaction signals. These reaction signals are generated by the evaluating means (4) in response to a comparison of the circadian normal cardiac data containing the recorded electric cardiac signals and/or with the other circadian normal cardiac data containing the other electric cardiac signals while taking the associated circadian time signals into account, and these reaction signals are transmitted to the output means (7).
