Abstract
We introduce an algorithm for on-line measurement of instant changes of heart dynamics. It measures the variability of - segments in electrocardiagrams. The method is based on measuring the autocorrelations of the distributions of the system’s dynamical variable. The algorithm has been tested on a sample of cardiac conditions.
