Abstract

A new algorithm for the determination of the limits of P and T waves is proposed, and its foundations are mathematically analyzed. The algorithm performs an adaptive filtering so that the searched point corresponds to a minimum. Crucial properties of its performance are discussed, i.e., immunity to base line drifts and full adaptation to any cardiological criteria. A series of tests are made involving real registers with different morphologies for P and T-waves.
