1. A method of analyzing ECG signals of a subject comprising the computer implemented steps of:
- receiving a subject electrocardiogram signal to be analyzed;
using a library of example predefined signals indicative of known cardiac syndromes, producing distance measures indicating similarity of the subject signal to the example predefined signals;
forming a sequence of vectors from the produced distance measures; and
using the sequence of vectors as input into a classifier which determines therefrom existence of any cardiac syndromes in the subject.

Abstract
Computer method and apparatus of analyzing ECG signals of a subject include receiving a subject electrocardiogram signal and comparing it against signal patterns of known cardiac syndromes. A library of example predefined signals is employed. Distance measures indicating similarity of the subject signal to the example predefined signals are produced and form a sequence of vectors. The sequence of vectors are input into a classifier which determines existence of signal patterns indicative of any cardiac syndromes in the subject.
