Cardiovascular monitoring system
First Claim
1. A cardiovascular monitoring system including:
- first sensor means adapted to be affixed to a subject for generating EKG signals related to the subject;
second sensor means adapted to be affixed to the subject;
for generating signals related to certain physical activities of the subject;
third sensor means adapted to be affixed to the subject for generating signals of skeletal muscle vibrations related to the source of emotional state of the subject; and
recording means connected to said first, second and third sensor means for recording the signals generated thereby so that the signals generated by said second and third sensor means may be correlated with the EKG signals generated by said first sensor means to enable abnormalities in the EKG of the subject to be detected and correlated with the physical activities and emotional state of the subject.

Abstract
A cardiovascular monitoring system which generates signals representative of certain physical activities of the subject and additional signals representing the emotional state of the subject in conjunction with the usual EKG signals. All of the signals generated by the monitoring system are digitized and multiplexed so that the signals representing the physical activities and emotion states of the subject may be recorded in a single channel. A usual Holter recorder may be used for recording the EKG signals, and the additional signals may be recorded in a separate recorder, or in a separate channel on the Holter recorder. The additional signals may be correlated with the EKG signals for the examination of the physical activities and emotional states of the subject which could cause detected abnormalities in the EKG signals.
