Optimization of ECG Procedures Chain for Reliability and Data Reduction

Abstract

This chapter deals with various aspects of improvements in the typical ECG processing chain. Particular procedures designed for the computation of specified diagnostic results are usually developed in long research projects and rarely disclosed as a source code. Without challenging well-established calculation methods, we aimed at optimizing the data flow and minimizing the propagation of computational errors. These issues are of particular importance in telemedical applications because the ECG interpretation process is distributed in the network and partly unsupervised.
