Abstract:
Analyzing EKG signals is an effective method in diagnosing heart abnormalities. Traditionally, the EKG signal collected from a patient is directly analyzed by a physician, who makes a comparison of the amplitudes and period of the P-Q-R-S-T wave to normal waves. This analysis is performed in the time domain. However, these signals can also be analyzed through frequency domain analysis. We propose to study five arrhythmia signals using frequency domain analysis to determine if there are significant differences between signals that would allow accurate diagnosis of such signals based on their energy-frequency distribution.
