1. A method of automatically analyzing disturbances of the rhythm of the heart, comprising the steps of:

  • automatically analyzing a sequence of cardiac R-waves and converting same into normal pulses occurring within a predetermined time interval following a preceding pulse, delayed pulses occurring at a time interval greater than said predetermined time interval after the preceding pulse and accelerated pulses occurring at a time interval less than the predetermined time interval after the preceding pulse;

    storing information representing a multiplicity of cardiac conditions in the form of sequences of said pulses;

    comparing a current pulse train of such pulses with the stored information and generating a respective output signal upon the coincidence of the current pulse train with a corresponding pulse sequence of the stored information representing an indication of the corresponding condition; and

    counting the incidences of the output signals of the respective condition.
