Abstract
A cardiac monitoring system and, more particularly, a wireless electrocardiograph (ECG) system. The present invention detects electrical signals from a patient'"'"'s heart and transmits the signals digitally to a remote base station via telemetry. The base station converts the digital signals back to an analog electrical signals that can be read by an ECG monitor.
