Digitalization of ECG Records

摘要

Electrocardiogram (ECG) is the most important and widely used method to study the heart related diseases. The detailed study of ECG graph by the medical practitioner helps them to understand and identify the condition of the heart. Measurements of parameters from electrocardiograms (ECGs) are largely performed from paper ECG records. In some cases, doctors seek help from senior doctors in the interpretation of ECG records. As the absence of the integrated system leads to many problems. The person having a medical history of heart ailments will have to maintain a record of all the ECG papers for timely analysis and diagnosis of the diseases. This process requires large storage space and extensive manual effort. The conventional technique of visual analysis to inspect the ECG signals by doctors or physicians are not effective and time consuming. We present a tool to convert electrocardiography (ECG) information from paper charts into digital ECG signals. Thus in this digitized world, it is required to have a tool that converts existing paper ECG records into digital format..
