[Specific features of electrocardiographic information analysis based on wavelet transform]
Abstract:
Wavelet transform is a new tool for analysis of electrocardiographic information. In this work, we consider the procedure for selection of the mother wavelet on the basis of special criteria and substantiate an improved method for ECG analysis based on wavelet transform. An algorithm for selection of mother wavelet and synthesized wavelet providing optimal wavelet transform of ECG signal is developed. It is shown that 3D wavelet spectrograms should be constructed to increase the efficiency of assessment of the state of cardiovascular system.

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...
Correlation between ECG and Cardiac Cycle
A cardiac action potential originates in the SA node and spreads throughout the atria and the AV node in approximately 0.03 seconds. This results in the P wave in an ECG and triggers atrial contraction. The action potential is then briefly slowed at the AV node, allowing the atria to contract and fill the ventricles with blood before...
