Automated QT interval measurement using modified Pan-Tompkins algorithm with independent isoelectric line approach

The QT interval on the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal is known to have an important role in monitoring heart’s electrical activity because the presence of QT interval prolongation can be associated with life-threatening cardiac events. This interval can be identified and measured using either man...

description The QT interval on the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal is known to have an important role in monitoring heart’s electrical activity because the presence of QT interval prolongation can be associated with life-threatening cardiac events. This interval can be identified and measured using either manual or automated techniques. Currently, studies on automated QT interval measurement algorithms are becoming a growing field, as they can provide the best solution to overcome misdiagnosis and timely issues resulting from manual identification. However, the physiological variability of the QRS complex and the fluctuation of the isoelectric line are prevalent issues that need to be considered in the automatic method. In this report, an algorithm to identify the QRS onset and T-wave offset for measuring the corrected QT interval (QTc) is proposed. This method uses an improved Pan-Tompkins algorithm from the previous work with independent of the isoelectric line approach for detecting the QRS onset and the T offset.
