Abstract:

A system for combined analysis of resting, rhythm and exercise electrocardiograms has been developed. Also an “expert” module for rule-based processing with backward chaining for reasoning has been implemented. The system can be used for routine ECG analysis as well as for research and teaching in electrocardiography.
