Abstract

Attention is given to the 1989 American Heart Association report, which focuses on the areas of digital processing and bandwidth requirements for automated ECG (electrocardiographic) analysis. Recommendations are developed for low- and high-frequency performance, sampling and quantization, and data compression. Fidelity criteria are described in relation to the intended applications, including routine visual reading, morphological diagnosis by digital program, and digital transmission or storage/retrieval of data
