1. A patient monitor comprising:

  • an electrocardiograph monitoring an electrocardiographic signal of a patient;

    a secondary physiological signal monitor monitoring a second physiological signal of the patient concurrently with the electrocardiograph monitoring the electrocardiographic signal of the patient;

    an alarm condition detector configured to detect an alarm condition based on the electrocardiographic signal of the patient;

    an alarm condition validator configured to validate the alarm condition based on pulse regularity of a pulsatile component of the concurrently monitored second physiological signal of the patient; and

    an alarm indicator configured to generate a human-perceptible alarm conditional upon both the alarm condition detector detecting an alarm condition and the alarm condition validator validating the alarm condition.
