Abstract

This paper describes an algorithm of P-wave detection by significant point extraction method with digital differentiation. P-waves are detected by pattern matching algorithm with significant points. By means of defecting onset and offset points of P-waves, this algorithm can measure the PR intervals exactly which is important to diagnosis the atrial arrhythmia. Because P-wave duration is changed according to heart-rates, we calculate the R-R interval prior to the determination of P-wave duration threshold values in order to actively adapt to the change of P duration The results obtained from the proposed algorithm have defected successfully P-wave almost more than 90%.
