Detection of the heart response of pacemaker patients

摘要

The detection of a heart response in an ECG signal of a patient having a pacemaker emitting a pace pulse. An area of a pulse of the ECG signal comprising a pace pulse tail of the pace pulse is first determined and an estimated mathematical function is derived from the determined area. The estimated mathematical function and the ECG signal are evaluated together in order to distinguish the heart response in the ECG signal.
