Apparatus and method for differentiating wide complex heart beats

An apparatus for classifying a wide complex heart beat(s) comprising:

• an input/output interface;
• a memory;
• one or more processors communicably coupled to the input/output interface and the memory, wherein the one or more processors:
• receive one or more wide complex heart beat waveform amplitudes and/or time-voltage areas and one or more baseline heart beat waveform amplitudes and/or time-voltage areas via the input/output interface or the memory,
• determine a classification probability between the one or more wide complex heart beat waveform amplitudes and/or time-voltage areas and the one or more baseline heart beat waveform amplitudes and/or time-voltage areas using the one or more processors,
• determine a signal change based on the classification probability,
• provide the signal change via the input/output interface, wherein the signal change provides an indication whether the wide complex heart beat(s) is from a ventricular source or a supraventricular aberrant condition;
• and
• wherein a recommendation to select or exclude a therapy, medication, diagnostic testing or referral for a patient based on the signal change is provided, and the therapy, medication, diagnostic testing or referral for the patient is selected or excluded based on the recommendation.
