Abstract: A monitor apparatus is disclosed for monitoring electrical stimulation signals due to either natural or artificial electrical stimulation of a body part via a communication link such that the repetition rate of the electrical stimulation signals can be determined. The monitor apparatus comprises the subsystems: a transducer; a communication link or network; and a reciever. The transducer is adapted to sense the electrical stimulation signals generated either naturally or by an electronic organ stimulator, such as an implanted cardiac pacer, and to convert the electrical stimulation signals to audible signals such as tone bursts. These audible tone bursts are then transmitted over a communication link such as the standard telephone network to the receiver located at a remote telephone station, typically a cardiologist's office. The receiver is adapted to measure the time interval between received tone bursts. The receiver is further adapted to display or indicate to an observer the time interval between received tone burst. If desired, the receiver can be adapted to indicate directly the repetition rate of the stimulation signals. The information is then utilized by an observer for diagnostic purposes.

Abstract: A monitor apparatus for simultaneously monitoring via a telephone communication link electrocardiographic signals of a patient produced as a result of the heart function of the patient, and electrical artifact signals produced as a result of the electrical output of a heart pacer artificially stimulating the heart of the patient. The monitor apparatus includes a transducer adapted to sense both the electrocardiographic signals and the electrical artifact signals of a patient and to process the sensed signals to transmittable signals for transmission over the telephone communication link. The monitor apparatus also includes a receiver adapted to receive the signals transmitted over the telephone communication link and to process the received signals for providing a visual display to an observer of information indicative of the repetition rate of the electrical artifact signals and a recorded read-out indicative of the electrocardiographic signals along with the artifact signals and the time occurrence relationship of the artifact signals with respect to the electrocardiographic signals.

Abstract: Apparatus is provided for sensing physiological potentials of a living body. There is provided a first band for at least partially encircling a part of the living body and having a first electrode mounted thereon. The first electrode is adapted for connection to an instrument for amplifying the physiological potentials of the living body. A second band is provided for at least partially encirling another part of the living body and has a second and a third electrode located thereon. The second and third electrodes each are adapted for connection to the instrument for amplifying the physiological potentials of the living body.
