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