Abstract
UNLABELLED: The automated detection of arrhythmia in a Holter ECG signal is a challenging task due to its complex clinical content and data quantity. It is also challenging due to the fact that Holter ECG is usually affected by noise. Such noise may be the result of the regular activity of patients using the Holter ECG-partially unplugged electrodes, short-time disconnections due to movement, or disturbances caused by electric devices or infrastructure. Furthermore, regular patient activities such as movement also affect the ECG signals and, in connection with artificial noise, may render the ECG non-readable or may lead to misinterpretation of the ECG.
