Abstract :
Application of sequential testing to a Markovian model of cardiac rhythm intervals is investigated. An approximate expression for the expected number of observations is obtained for Wald´s sequential test under dependent sampling. The interclass separability of three selected cardiac rhythms is then determined, and the results are used to evaluate the feasibility of an on-line implementation of a sequential classification procedure in a coronary care ward.
