Abstract
The disclosure herein provides cardiac monitoring and diagnostic system, methods, and devices. A cardiac diagnostic system for detecting potential indicators of cardiac disease comprises: a cardiac monitoring device comprising at least one electrode configured to detect an analog electrical cardiac signal of a user; a cardiac signal filter configured to convert the analog electrical cardiac signal to digital electrocardiogram data; an atypical cardiac sequence detector configured to detect atypical cardiac patterns in the electrocardiogram data that are potentially indicative of cardiac disease; and a notification transmitter configured to generate an alert when a detected atypical cardiac pattern is determined to be indicative of cardiac disease.

A cardiac diagnostic system for detecting potential indicators of cardiac disease, the cardiac diagnostic system comprising:
- a cardiac monitoring device comprising at least one electrode configured to detect an analog electrical cardiac signal of a user;
- a cardiac signal filter configured to convert the analog electrical cardiac signal to digital electrocardiogram data;
- and
- an atypical cardiac sequence detector configured to analyze the digital electrocardiogram data to detect atypical cardiac patterns that are potentially indicative of cardiac disease,
- wherein detecting the atypical cardiac patterns comprises:
- determining a first encoded length of a segment of the digital electrocardiogram data using a first encoder based on typical data;
- determining a second encoded length of the segment of the digital electrocardiogram data using a second encoder without knowledge of typical data, so that the encoded data is decodable;
- and
- comparing the first and second encoded lengths,
- wherein the second encoded length being smaller than the first encoded length is indicative of an atypical cardiac pattern.
