SUTIL: intelligent ischemia monitoring system.

SUTIL is an intelligent monitoring system for intensive and exhaustive follow up of patients in coronary care units. This system processes electrocardiographic and hemodynamic signals in real time, with the main objective of detecting ischemic episodes. In this paper, we describe the tasks included in SUTIL. In addition to basic tasks, those at higher levels will also be presented. Some of these latter tasks attempt to mimic, to some extent, the way in which the human expert operates.
