Abstract

In previous study for correlation between P-wave Signal Averaged Electrocardiography (SAECG) and Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation (PAF) subjects, we showed that the duration of P-wave in subjects is longer than in controls. In this respect, the P-wave SAECG is a new method proving to be an accurate and independent noninvasive marker for the risk of PAF. To prove this suggestion, accurate detection and alignment of P-wave are indispensible. In previous study, we measured P-wave duration by manual. So it was not accurate and consistent. To measure the P-wave duration accurately and automatically, we have developed an automatic algorithm for P-wave duration measurement. We showed that the duration of P- wave in the subjects is longer than in controls with this algorithm.
