Methods for determining the elements of the PQRST-complex of the electrocardiogram

Abstract

An electrocardiogram (ECG) is one of the most common medical examinations. High-quality interpretation of a 12-channel electrocardiogram is important for subsequent diagnosis and treatment. One of the important steps in deciphering an ECG is to determine the boundaries of the elements of the PQRST complex. The article discusses mathematical methods for determining the boundaries of the P, T waves and the QRS complex, as well as the R, P and T peaks, presents the shortcomings of mathematical methods for determining the elements of the PQRST complex. And also the values ​​of the metrics obtained as a result of training the neural network segmentation model of the PQRST-complex are given. The experiments performed show the relevance of using neural network and combined approaches to the analysis of the PQRST complex.
