Abstract :
Fourier shape descriptors of vectorcardiograms have been proposed for cardiac rhythm analysis. The technique characterizes the differences in shape and size of the normal and abnormal vectorcardiograms. The specific abnormalities considered are premature ventricular contractions (PVC´s) and supraventricular premature contractions (SVPC´s).
