Maximizing the Reliability of a Full-Automatic ECG-Waveforms Delineating Algorithm Using Extensive ECG Databank

Abstract

Due to the significance of ECG delineation and measurements including QT measurement for drug safety, the objective of this work is to compare the results of manual annotated QT and RR interval measurements of a huge databank with the results of the fully-automated algorithm presented in [3] for validation purposes not only in clinical studies and cardiac safety, but also in all kind of cardiac applications. The differences between the results of the algorithm and the golden manual-annotated reference values are very low. This gives a strong indicator for the reliability of the full-automated delineation program.
