REPRESENTATION AND ANALYSIS OF SIGNALS. PART X. SIGNAL THEORY AND ELECTROCARDIOGRAPHY

Abstract

The purpose of this investigation is to demonstrate that some signal theory concepts are APPLICABLE TO AND GREATLY FACILITATE THE DIGITALCOMPUTER DIAGNOSIS OF ELECTROCARDIOGRAMS. The problems involved are twofold, namely the representation problem and the classification problem. There exist in the literature, numerous statistical methods applicable to the classification problem; however, without an efficient representation, the great amount of work involved in the statistical calculation is formidable. Thus an efficient representation of ECGs is indispensable and we find that the orthonormal exponential functions are very adequate for this purpose. (Author)
