Abstract

In this paper, the algorithm for detecting the transient change of ST-segment and the device for measuring ECG from patient without restriction of activity are introduced. ST-segment elevation and depression is considered as the main characteristic in diagnosis of myocardial ischemia, but the change of pattern is also important. To consider all of the former and the latter, we used polynomial approximation for diagnosis of ECG. The feature points(R, S and T are detected through the signal processing processes including wavelet transform, and then R-S and S-T are approximated to polynomial. This method allows comparison of two signals that have different sampling time or different numbers of...
