Comparative Assessment of Variability in Parameters of the Conventional and Averaged ECG

  • Published:
Biomedical Engineering Aims and scope

We present here a method for computerized processing of electrocardiograms providing for averaging of the electrocardiogram signals over prolonged periods. The results of a comparative evaluation of the variability of the amplitude and time parameters of conventional and averaged electrocardiography are presented. Averaged electrocardiography is shown to have advantages over conventional methods of processing the electrocardiogram signals for personalized monitoring of electrocardiographic changes due to its higher reproducibility.
