A fully automatic novel method to determine QT interval based on continuous wavelet transform

Nowadays,automatic recognition algorithm is being frequently utilized to extract the information concerning cardiac abnormalities. in this study,a fully automatic novel method based on the continuous wavelet transform (cwt) was developed for qt intervals in various ecg signals. especially,the determination of t-wave end is the paramount problem to be solved. the developed method was performed to find the beginning of qrs complexes and the end of t-wave. the proposed algorithm was tested on mit-bih-nsr database given by qt database,then,it yielded the scores 15.17 milliseconds and root-mean-square error of 17.19 milliseconds at silver standard,19.22 milliseconds and 20.22 milliseconds at gold standard,respectively. in conclusion,the proposed algorithm is a fully automatic method to attain a high performance in the calculation of qt intervals at various ecg signals.
