title: [A new approach to detection of QRS complexes based on histogram].
abstract: A brief comment on the current methods of detecting QRS complexes from ECG(electrocardiogram) including the wavelet transform method is given, and the shortcomings of those methods are discussed. A simple and effective new approach for detecting QRS complexes based on histogram is developed and presented in this paper with a description of the theory of histogram and the match principle for detecting QRS complexes. This new method is checked up on the data from the MIT/BIH ECG database and that from the Beijing Polytechnic University Hospital.
