Abstract

In automatic electrocardiogram (ECG) processing the detection of the QRS complexes is of fundamental importance. Many algorithms have been developed for this purpose. These algorithms are divided into three categories: (1) non-syntactic (2) syntactic and (3) hybrid. A syntactic algorithm, described by an attribute grammar, is presented in this paper.
