Abstract :
Evaluation of quality in digital ECG recordings is of importance when analyzing data archives or for automatic patient monitoring. In these settings, using noisy signals may lead to incorrectly measured ECGs or triggering false alarms in patient monitoring. Empirically defined thresholds are usually employed to exclude noisy recordings.
