Learning
The arrhythmia system’s goal is to learn the patient’s normal complexes so
it can differentiate abnormal beats. This "learning" process uses the 15 first
valid beats (for example, free from noise) encountered during the learning
phase.
While the system is learning the complex, the delayed arrhythmia wave
displays the beat label "L".
