Abstract
A telemetry system makes medical aid possible even though the patient and his helper are geographically out of reach. Coping with heart arrhythmias is the most difficult task found in the field. The emergency medical technician (EMT) can describe by normal telecommunication nearly all other necessary data from the patient to the doctor using simple words, except for the electrical activity of the patient’s heart.
