Rules for Determination of Expected P Wave Type in ECG Signals

Abstract

The aim of this work is to improve existing possibilities of automatic detection of pathological P wave in electrocardiogram. For detection of different types of P wave is crucial to choose suitable algorithm. In this paper, establishing of rules for determining which P wave type is in given situation probably present is done. This rules are derived from positions of QRS complexes. Therefore, accurate QRS detector based on a signal filtering by bandpass filter and finding the maximum in a moving window is designed.
