Introduction
Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a signal that describes
Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a signal that describes
the electrical activity of the heart. The ECG signal is
the electrical activity of the heart. The ECG signal is
generated by contraction (depolarization) and relaxation

heart. The ECG signal contains- a P wave (due to atrial
depolarization), a QRS complex (due to atrial repolarization

and ventricular depolarization) and a T wave (due to
