1. A method of detecting abnormal cardiac rhythms and clinical status of a subject comprising:
- obtaining physiological data obtained from a sampling device from the subject comprising one or more series of intervals;
calculating entropy related data using a computer processing device configured for processing the physiological data based on the one or more series of intervals, wherein the entropy related data are new entropy based measures of time series comprising;
interval match count histograms, andhistogram derived measures in which the y-axis of the histograms is the frequency of intervals of length m that have the match count given on the x-axis; and
generating a diagnostic output based on the entropy related data.

Abstract
A method for analysis of cardiac rhythm and RR interval time series based on entropy related data and entropy based measures. The information is related to but distinct from entropy, and is derived from histograms of interval match counts in which the y-axis is the frequency of intervals of length in that have the match count given on the x-axis. The phenotype of the histogram informs on the presence of atrial fibrillation or, in the presence of sinus rhythm, the degree of congestive heart failure.
