Abstract

Heartbeat detection is very important for retrieving the vital signs of heart functions. The morphologies and inter-beat intervals of heartbeats can reveal the condition of heart contraction. In this paper, we developed a heartbeat information integration scheme to deal with the information yielded by the energy thresholding and template match methods, which are usually used to detect the heartbeats and match the QRS, respectively. The proposed method are developed in SIMULINK 2.0 and assessed by the MIT/BIH arrhythmia database. The result demonstrated excellent sensitivity of detecting QRS and ventricular premature contraction in the proposed method.
