ECG signal processing for deceleration capacity assessment

In this paper is presented further development of ECG signal analysis software system “Cardio” with capability of Deceleration Capacity (DC) assessment. In the first part of the paper the algorithms used for DC assessment are described. In the second part of the paper are presented results of our implementation verification on ECG signals from group of patients. In the third part is presented proposed modification of the original algorithm allowing for DC assessment during sleep and wakefulness separately.
