Preprocessing and Analysis of Digitized ECGs

In this work we propose a methodology and programs in MatlabTM that perform the preprocessing and analysis of the derivative D1 of ECGs. The program makes the correction to isoelectric line for each beat, calculates the average cardiac frequency and its standard deviation, generates a file of amplitude of P, Q and T waves, as well as the segments and intervals important of each beat. Software makes the normalization of beats to a standard rate of 80 beats per minute, the superposition of beats is done centering R waves, before and after normalizing the amplitude of each beat. The data and graphics provide relevant information to the doctor for diagnosis. In addition, some results are displayed similar to those presented by a Holter recording.
