Considerable researches have been done on the automatic classification of pulse patterns according to their features of position and shape but because arrhythmic pulses are difficult to identity until now none has been done to automatically identify pulses by their rhythms. This paper 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 seven pulse patterns not only achieving a recognition accuracy of as assessed by experts in TCM but also correctly extracting the periodical unit of the intermittent pulse.

The research on traditional Chinese pulse diagnosis TCPD is relatively new in this area. Usually practitioners of TCPD use pulse sensors to acquire patients pulse waveforms of the wrists and then investigate the patients pulse waveforms 1-7 . Presently the long-term monitoring of pulse waveforms is .
