Electrocardiogram generation software for testing of parameter extraction algorithms

Abstract

Fast and automated ECG diagnosis is of great benefit for treatment of cardi-ovascular and other conditions. The algorithms used to extract parameters need to be precise, robust and efficient. Appropriate training and testing methods for such algorithms need to be implemented for optimal results. This paper presents a software solution for computer ECG generation and a simplified concept of testing process. All the parameters of the resulting generated signal can be tweaked and set properly. Such software can also be beneficial for training and educational use
