Descrição

Proceedings of the International Conference on Computational Intelligence in Medicine Healthcare, CIMED 2005, Costa da Caparica, June 29 - July 1, 2005 Efficient R wave detection is a crucial preprocessing step of most of the ECG signal analysis . Likewis e, ECG delineation comprising P wave and QRS complex, is required for ECG processing, namely in High- Resolution Electrocardiography (HR-ECG). We have performed R wave detection using the Mexican Hat wavelet and achieved a sensibility Se=97.77 % and a positive prediction P+=99.46%. Our data is HR-ECG and the delineation process occurs in two steps: wavelet detection and application of the Task Force (Breithardt et al.)1 detection rules.
