Abstract
Between first responder professionals, firefighters registered the highest number of deaths on duty. An abnormal high proportion is associated with cardiovascular events. Our main goal is to identify fatigue/stress during daily routine activities, focusing on the cardiovascular analysis. To accomplish this purpose, ECG wave morphological alterations are analyzed. It was observed that the RR, PP and ST segment significantly differentiate the most stressful tasks from the others.
