Abstract

The QT interval is the electrocardiographic representation of the duration of ventricular depolarization and repolarization. In this paper, we have developed a new real-time QT interval detection algorithm for automatically locating the onset of QRS and the end of the T wave. The algorithm consists of several steps: signal-to-noise enhancement, QRS detection, QRS onset, and T-wave end definition. The detection algorithm is tested on electrocardiogram (ECG) signals from the universal MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database. The resulting QRS detection algorithm has a sensitivity of 99.79% and a specificity of 99.72%. The QRS onset and T-wave detection algorithm is tested using several data records from the MIT/BIH Arrhythmia Database. The results obtained are shown to be highly satisfactory.
