Abstract

The heart is an important organ in the human body, for pumping the blood throughout the body. An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a diagnosis tool that reports the electrical operation of the heart, recorded by skin electrodes at specific locations on the body. The introduction of computer-based methods for the purpose of quantifying different ECG signal characteristics is the result of a desire to improve measurement accuracy as well as reproducibility. In this chapter, the author explains the basic definitions in heart studies and the electrocardiogram signals. In addition, the importance of interpretation and measuring the effective features in heart signals to detect the heart disorders is described. Finally, some of the common disorders of heart are briefly explained.
