What is it about?
Cardiac arrhythmia stands as a significant threat to life, with electrocardiogram (ECG) serving as a cornerstone in clinical diagnosis. Exploring ECG morphology, researchers have identified the ST-T complex as a pivotal indicator of myocardial ischemia. This paper delves into our advancements in ST-episode detection through time domain analysis. Leveraging the European ST-T database from Physionet, our study showcases a promising technique with a sensitivity of 91.37% in accurately detecting ST-episodes.
