A wavelet transform method, based on the Mexican Hat wavelet, was used to precisely locate the positions of the onset, peak and termination of individual components in the ECG signal.
Abstract
ECG recordings were obtained from 21 healthy subjects aged between 13 and 65 years, over a range of heart rate extending from 46 to 184 beats/min (bpm). A wavelet transform method, based on the Mexican Hat wavelet was then used to precisely locate the positions of the onset, peak and termination of individual components in the ECG signal. These times were then classified according to the heart rate associated with the cardiac cycle to which the component belonged. Second order equations in the square root of the cardiac cycle time, T/sub R-R/ of the form A./spl radic/T/sub R-R/+B.T/sub R-R/+C were fitted to the data obtained for each component to characterize its timing variation.

The time relationships of the constituent components of the human electrocardiogram

TL;DR: An examination of the timing relationships of the principal constituent components of the human electrocardiogram (ECG) found that an ECG signal having a profile that varies with heart rate in a manner which reflects the in vivo variation is synthesized.

An analysis of the time-relations of electrocardiograms

TL;DR: In this paper, a preliminary attempt was made to determine from blood pressure records the relative influence of the heart action and of vaso-canstriction, and it was suggested that it might be necessary to estimate the duration of ventricular systole for different heart rates.

Singularity detection and processing with wavelets

TL;DR: It is proven that the local maxima of the wavelet transform modulus detect the locations of irregular structures and provide numerical procedures to compute their Lipschitz exponents.

Decomposition of Hardy functions into square integrable wavelets of constant shape

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied square integrable coefficients of an irreducible representation of the non-unimodular $ax + b$-group and obtained explicit expressions in the case of a particular analyzing family that plays a role analogous to coherent states (Gabor wavelets) in the usual $L_2 $ -theory.

Characterization of Signals From Multiscale Edges

TL;DR: The authors describe an algorithm that reconstructs a close approximation of 1-D and 2-D signals from their multiscale edges and shows that the evolution of wavelet local maxima across scales characterize the local shape of irregular structures.

The normal duration of the electrocardiographic ventricular complex.

TL;DR: The duration of ventricular systole has aroused the interest of a number of workers since Garrod pointed out its relation to the heart rate in 1871 and it seems likely that this record of cardiac activity is as closely associated with the state of the myocardium itself, though perhaps not with the general circulation, as the measurement of systoles by mechanical means.
