Abstract: Procedure to recognize a ventricular cardiac pathological condition in view of an automatic defibrillation and monitor/defibrillator to implement the procedureProcedure to recognize a ventricular cardiac pathological condition characterized in that after an analog preprocessing, the ECG signals are continuously sampled and digitized, then digitally processed by basic periods in such a manner as to periodically measure distinct basic values according to three criteria of zeros Z, of cardiac frequency FC and of arrythmia RR, then to individually allocate to each value a probability weighting according to a weighting scale specific to each criteria, to proceed to sum these basic values to establish an overall probability over a given duration utilized to determine the triggering of a recognition alarm of a cardiac pathological condition. The invention is of particular interest in cardiology in the medical industry.

Abstract: A general surveillance monitor to monitor the vital physiological signs of patients undergoing examination by nuclear magnetic resonance imaging is constructed such that each functional module of the monitor is individually protected from the electromagnetic environment and high frequency parasitic currents and such that the control assembly is a computer system without any magnetic storage.
