Abstract

Electrocardiography (ECG) is a form of examination based on printing on millimetric paper the contraction and relaxation phases of the atria and ventricles of the heart, the electrical activity that occurs during the stimulation of the heart and the transmission of the stimulus. For the first diagnosis of diseases such as heart attacks, it is very important to make this preliminary impression and inform the doctor and patient as soon as possible.In this study, any arrhythmia risk can be determined by examining the heart rate and QRS width values calculated by graphing the signal value coming from the electrodes of the Electrocardiography monitor taken for heart rhythm monitoring in hospitals and by detecting the QRS points from the signal data with the Pan Tompkins algorithm and Hilbert Transform method. The image of the ECG graph and the signal analysis results, which are the result of the graphing of the data, can be sent via e-mail. In line with the values obtained in this study, it has been determined that the Pan Tompkins algorithms signal detection accuracy, sensitivity and accurate prediction ratio gives better results than Hilbert Transform method during the detection of peaks from ECG signals.
