Abstract
This chapter proposes a novel approach to the detection of arrhythmic pulses using the Lempel-Ziv complexity analysis. Four parameters, one lemma, and two rules, which are the results of heuristic approach, are presented. This approach is applied on 140 clinic pulses for detecting 7 pulse patterns, not only achieving a recognition accuracy of 97.1% as assessed by experts in TCM but also correctly extracting the periodical unit of the intermittent pulse.
