QRS detection in ECG signals
Kuna, Zdeněk ; Vítek, Martin (referee) ; Kozumplík, Jiří (advisor)
This project considers methods of construction QRS detectors. It focus in detection complexes of QRS single leads and space speed, which are calculated from three orthogonal leads. In theory was refer to various methods, which lead to design detector. It were designed two algoritms (constant and adaptive detecting threshold), which were implemented into detector and the signal was preprocessed by Hilbert transformation. Toward algoritms were completed by modification, which improved detection effectivity. Function of algoritms were tested in all signals of CSE (V2,V5,aVF).

QT interval measurement in electrograms
Ondráček, Vladimír ; Vítek, Martin (referee) ; Kolářová, Jana (advisor)
This diploma thesis focuses on determination of the QT interval in ECG. The thoretical part desribes physiology of the heart, electronic activity of the heart and possible methods of ECG measurement. The theoretical part also describes methods of signal processing, the processed signal is then used for determination of the QT interval. The practical part focuses on two chosen methods of QT interval determination and on implementation of the methods in a computer program. The results part is evaluation of measured QT intervals and a comparision of the results with reference values.

Processing of electrocardiograms
Princ, Martin ; Vítek, Martin (referee) ; Kolářová, Jana (advisor)
This work concerns with problems of the QT sequences detection in ECG signal. The first part introduces electrophysiology of heart and his electrical manifestation. For main detection were used two algorithms, which were afterwards modified and programmed in Matlab. The work includes developed custom applications for measurement and evaluation of the length of QT interval. The final lengths of the QT interval, which we got from this two methods, were compared with reference length.

ECG analysis
Heczko, Marian ; Smital, Lukáš (referee) ; Vítek, Martin (advisor)
The topic of this master's thesis is the analysis of ECG signals using wavelet transform. In the introductory chapters there is a brief description of heart anatomy, the emergence and spread of potentials, which evocating activities of myocardium. There is an overview of techniques used for ECG signals analysis and explanation of ECG curve diagnostic importance. Work also containts an ECG signal analysis common procedure explanation and different approaches brief overview. The main part of this work is an application detecting significant intervals in the ECG signal, developed in Matlab. In several chapters the detection procedure is described in more details and gave reasons for chosen methods. In the last chapter there is a preview of several signals as a result of developed application, together with evaluation of the tests carried out at the CSE database. Detector sensitivity was quantified over 99,10%.

Recognition methods for biosignals
Juračka, Zdeněk ; Vítek, Martin (referee) ; Kolářová, Jana (advisor)
The thesis is focused on the recognition methods study used in one-dimensional signal processing. A lot of recognition methods exist, this thesis briefly describes the principle of some of them, e.g. artificial neural networks, fuzzy systems, expert systems and decision trees. Dynamic time warping (DTW) method has been chosen for signal processing available from UBMI database. DTW can be used as a non-linear signal processing method. The result of this method is to determine the similarity of two compared signals on the basis of their distance calculation. One of the reasons for choosing this method was the possibility of various length signal processing. The principle of the method as well as the calculation of the distance between two input data sequences is described in the thesis. DTW path finding method is also mentioned. The method was applied on randomly selected numbers and a set of simulated signals. The method was applied to ECG and action potential signals recorded on the isolated rabbit heart. DTW was used to evaluate shape changes of these signals in repeated phases of the experiment known as ischemia and reperfusion. Selected cardiac cycles were detected and included into different experiment phases on the basis of calculated distance results using DTW. Sensitivity was selected as an evaluative criterion of this classification method. It reached a value of 65%. DTW algorithm was further tested on the selected cardiac cycle mapping to the corresponding minute record in the selected experiment phase. It reached a sensitivity of 68.3%. The motion artifact appearance was monitored using DTW on AP signals. The method functioned more precisely on signals measured in ischemia phases. Along with the above mentioned, the thesis discusses all aspects of heart electrical manifestation activities called as ECG signals and action potentials, such as origin, propagation, recording, post-processing and measuring out.

Measurement of ECG signal for TWA analysis
Řezáč, Petr ; Vítek, Martin (referee) ; Kozumplík, Jiří (advisor)
The thesis deals with possibilities of using wavelet transform in the field of surface electrocardiogram (ECG) signals denoising and ECG signals measuring. Several algorithms have been used to detect and estimate T-wave alternans (TWA), such as spectral method (SM), Poincaré Mapping (PM) or correlation method (CM). T-wave alternans, also called repolarization alternans, is a phenomenon appearing in the electrocardiogram as a consistent fluctuation in the repolarization morphology on every-other-beat basis. Electrical TWA has been recognized as a marker of electrical instability, and has been shown to be related with patients at increased risk for ventricular arrhytmias. Presence of TWA has been reported in a wide range of clinical and experimental situations including long QT syndrome, myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, acute ischemia, etc. Projected methods of detection TWA are realized in Matlab software, and they are experimentally verified on real ECG signals from the European ST-T Database.

A Detections and Measurements in ECG Signals
Toušek, Vojtěch ; Vítek, Martin (referee) ; Kozumplík, Jiří (advisor)
Automatic detection and delineation of ECG characteristic points is a basic procedure of any analyze of ECG using computer. This detection is a necessary step to simplify the work of cardiologists to evaluate long ECG records. In this thesis is proposed and evaluate a method of detection and delineation in a single-lead ECG using dyadic wavelet transform followed by correction in pseudo-orthogonal lead system taken from standard 12-lead system. The method uses information about position of positive maximum – negative minimum pair to detect ECG characteristic waves. At first the QRS complex is detected and than its morphology (waves Q and S) and the onset and end of the complex. After that the T-wave is detected and delineated within a searching window dependent on QRS position. And last the P-wave is detected and delineated. There are used two types of wavelets in developed method, “haar” and “quadratic spline”. The developed method was evaluated on CSE database. When haar wavelet was used the QRS detector sensitivity was 99.14%. In the work is also evaluated the accuracy of delineation characteristic points. As the P-wave and QRS complex delineation produced quite good results the T-wave end delineator produced relatively big deviations. All deviations are presented in histograms.

Analysis of T wave alternations in programming language C - Radek Poul
Poul, Radek ; Vítek, Martin (referee) ; Rychtárik, Milan (advisor)
The thesis deals with detection of T-wave alternans. The presence of T-wave in surface ECG is recognized as a marker of electrical instability of heart in stage his repolarization, arise increased risk of emergence ventricular fibrillation and sudden cardiac death. The goal of our project is familiarize with methods of detection T-wave alternans. In particular spectral method and spectral method which was realized in variant for running reading values in time (“sliding window”). To suggest a QRS complex detector, localize the T-wave and to make TWA detection using spectral method and modified spectral method. This project is to be made in C language in appropriate user interface.
