Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Premature ventricular contraction is associated to the risk of coronary heart disease, and its diagnosis depends on a long time heart monitoring. For this purpose, monitoring through Holter devices is often used and computational tools can provide essential assistance to specialists. This paper presents a new premature ventricular contraction recognition method based on a simplified set of features, extracted from geometric figures constructed over QRS complexes (Q, R and S waves).
