title: Algorithms for the detection of events in electrocardiograms.
abstract: The detection of events in electrocardiograms (ECGs) and vectorcardiograms (VCGs) is an essential processing step in systems for computer-assisted ECG/VCG interpretation. This paper describes various algorithms for the detection of QRS complexes, atrial activity and artefacts. These algorithms have been used in various versions of the TNO Modular ECG/VCG Interpretation System including its latest version, MEANS. Evaluation results are presented.
