Abstract

A simple algorithm for QRS peak detection was developed using ECG recordings from the HMS-MIT-FFMS database. The algorithm uses two leads to calculate RR intervals and beat type for subsequent use in time- and frequency-domain analysis. The algorithm provides independence from lead orientation, excludes P and T wave detection, is resistant to noise, and yields automatic beat classification for inclusion in later analysis
