Ischemia detection based on HMM beat segmentation and ST segment analysis

Thispaper describes an algorithm for ischemia monitoring in ambulatory electrocardiography. It relies on an automatic ST-segment anlysis. Orecise information about ST segment changes are provided by an original hidden Markov models (HMM) aproach for on line beat segmentation. The performance was evaluated on the two-channel European ST T database, according to its ST episode definitions ...
