Abstract
This chapter introduces the severity of heart-related problems and their huge impact on assuming many lives. Remote monitoring systems are introduced, followed by a brief introduction to the ECG signal and its importance in diagnosing cardiac arrhythmias. The chapter concludes by discussing the problem with existing automatic cardiac arrhythmia diagnostic solutions, the book main contribution, and the book outline.
