[The use of computers in the exercise of electrocardiography (author's transl)]
Abstract:
The use of computers in the exercise of electrocardiography is considered. The problems related to this use concern the choice of leads, the filtration of the signal, the recognition of characteristic segments of ECG, the calculation of various indexes and their statistical evaluation for diagnostic purposes. The authors use a bipolar derivation filtered by averaging and digital filters. The characteristic points of ECG are recognized by the analysis of the curvature. The Tchebycheff coefficients of the S-T tract are evaluated; they appeared to be a very good means for judging positive and negative cases.

Electrocardiogram Fundamentals
An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a diagnostic tool for identifying cardiac conditions such as arrhythmias, conduction abnormalities, and myocardial ischemia.
Definition
An electrocardiogram (ECG) visualizes the heart's electrical activity by tracing the electrical movement associated with each heartbeat on a graph or monitor. As the heart beats, an electrical wave passes through it, correlating with the cardiac cycle events.

Components of the Electrocardiogram
The primary components of a normal ECG waveform in Normal sinus rhythm(NSR) include the P wave, PR interval, QRS complex, ST segment, T wave, and occasionally a U wave.
ECG waveforms are divided by vertical and horizontal lines at standard intervals.
The horizontal axis measures time and rate, and the vertical axis measures amplitude or voltage. When...
Exercise Stress Test
Exercise stress testing, commonly known as a treadmill test, is a noninvasive procedure used to evaluate cardiovascular function and diagnose heart conditions.
Definition
An exercise stress test measures the heart's response to exertion using a treadmill or stationary bicycle. Chest electrodes record the heart's electrical activity through an ECG, and blood pressure is monitored regularly.
Purposes
Holter Monitor: 24-Hour Monitoring
Dysrhythmias V: Evaluating Dysrhythmias
