Abstract :
A new hidden Marcov model (HMM) structure with vector-valued observation sequences is developed for the characterization of cardiac arrhythmias and other irregularities in multiple-lead ECG recordings. An analysis procedure is then proposed which generalises the HMM analysis developed for single-lead ECGs
