Abstract

Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is the most serious variety of arrhythmia which requires accurate and quick detection to save lives, and a pivotal component in automated exter- nal defibrillators (AEDs) is the detection of VF signal by means of appropriate detection algorithm. In this paper, on the basis of Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) we ana- lyze electrocardiograms (ECG) such as sinus rhythm (SR), VF and so on and propose a new differentiation algorithm for waves which should be applied electrical defibrillation.
