Abstract: A method of evaluating an electrophysical signal. The method utilizes a model-derived reconstruction over at least one cycle of the electrophysical signal to identify a pathological event, whereby at least one term in the model is differentiable. The invention is also directed to a non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon for identifying a pathological event from a model-derived reconstruction of an electrophysical signal. The invention is further directed to a system for evaluating an electrophysical signal. The system includes a processor configured to identify a pathological event from a model-derived reconstruction of the electrophysical signal, a data input coupled to the processor for providing the processor with the electrophysical signal, and a user interface.
