Many of the current programs only____11____into account a linear correlation of the data. We are, however, making use____12____a non-linear process that reveals the chaotic patterns of heart beats as an open and complex system, Hagen Knaf says, ____13____changes in the heart beats over time can be monitored and individual variations in patients taken into account. An old study of ECG data, based____14____600 patients who had suffered a subsequent heart attack, enabled the researchers to compare risks and to show____15____the new software evaluates the data considerably better.
