ECG measurement and processing in LabView
Veselý, Petr ; Kozumplík, Jiří (referee) ; Kolář, Radim (advisor)
The thesis, as its title shows, is focused on the ECG signal processing and the QRS complex detection. Its first part provides the anatomical description of the heart itself. Due to the irritation of the heart muscle, the atrium of the heart and the ventricles gradually contract and relax. In these stages, it is possible to measure a certain electric activity of the heart. This is called the ECG. The curve consists of several distinctive waves, the R wave being prevalent among them. Its parameters are predominant for describing the heart activity. Therefore, the next part of the thesis turns to the possibilities of its detection. The detection process is divided in two parts, the first of them being the pre-processing. Here, the signal is arranged in the right shape. This is followed by the detection, which describes the R wave occurrence. These operations use various filters and methods, as described in the following chapters. The output program, designed in the Labview programming environment, is based on the separation of the R wave from the ECG. This is subsequently compared to the threshold value. The values measured here are later used for the heart rate calculation and creating the geometrical description of the HRV

Analysis of long-term electrocardiograms
Vojtíšek, Jiří ; Vítek, Martin (referee) ; Kolářová, Jana (advisor)
This work deals with long-therm analysis of electrocardiogram using heart rate variability representation. Project explains heart anatomy and electrophysiology, creation and shape of ECG curve. Heart rate variability is described by power spectral density, which we obtain from created algorithm. This algorithm was used in graphic user interface application Spider Pig Analysis, which analyze long-term ECG focused on showing Power Spectral Density graph. Practicality of this program was verified in experiment. In the experiment HRV at rest and HRV at tilt were compared.

Transportable ECG monitor
Vepřková, Hana ; Rozman, Jiří (referee) ; Chmelař, Milan (advisor)
The first two chapters are devoted to theoretical analysis of issues relating to portable EKG monitor. This chapters are aimed to further acquaint the reader with the issue for subsequent easier of understanding on further steps in the implementation of the device which will be contain in the following chapters. The first chapter is mainly a medical nature. We describe the anatomy and functional properties of the heart. In the next chapter we are deal with detail of electrocardiograph and the conditions for its proper function. Other chapters are devoted to the actual implementation of the facility. We are dealing with the issue of build functional portable EKG monitor. This practical part begins by fourth chapter, which consists block diagram of the device and discusses the required parameters. Next most extensive chapter is devoted to a detailed breakdown of the electrical circuit, including the calculation of the individual components. The last chapter describes the implementation and outcome measurements on test persons.

Entropy for heart rate variability analysis
Zemánek, Ladislav ; Čmiel, Vratislav (referee) ; Janoušek, Oto (advisor)
The analysis of HRV is an advanced and noninvasive method which is used to investigate the involuntary nervous system. It is also one of the important parameters of its proper function. Heart rate variability can also be analyzed by entropy, which studies the discrepancy of the RR intervals of the HRV signal and thus can be used to diagnose cardiac diseases

Cardiotachometer
Čech, Jakub ; Sekora, Jiří (referee) ; Čech, Petr (advisor)
Master’s thesis deals with theme of heartbeats. Monitoring and evaluation of heartbeat is important for diagnostician cardiac dysfunction. First part of thesis is focused on anatomical description of heart and his operation. Another part is description of electrical activity of the heart and methods of capture. There is also mention of the cardiac rhythm and its disorders. One of the principal objective of this thesis is to study methods for sensing heart rate. These methods are analyzed and then selected a particular method for further solutions. The core thesis is to design functional cardiotachometer. Cardiotachometer derives the heart rate signal from phonocardiographical signal, which is acoustic manifestation of heart. Implementation takes place in the Labview, which is graphical programming environment. Suggested the device measures the current and average heart rate and the addition of HRV analysis in time domain.

ECG signal classification
Smělý, Tomáš ; Harabiš, Vratislav (referee) ; Hrubeš, Jan (advisor)
This thesis deals with classification of different types of time courses of ECG signals. Main objective was to recognize the normal cycles and several forms of arrhythmia and to classify the exact types of them. Classification has been done with usage of algorithms of Neural Networks in Matlab program, with its add-on (Neural Network Toolbox). The result of this thesis is application, which makes possible to load an ECG signal, pre-process it and classify its each cycle into five classes. Percentage results of this classification are in the conclusion of this thesis.

Measurement of cardiovascular parameters
Szpyrc, Bogdan ; Rychtárik, Milan (referee) ; Kolářová, Jana (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the questions of anatomy and physiology of the heart. The diagnostic system BIOPAC is used in order to measure the electrical activity of the heart by a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) and to evaluate the heart rate. The ECG signal is transformed into a vectorcardiogram (VCG) from which the direction of the electrical axis of the heart is deducted. Own experiment will be suggested in order to detect a load reaction and cessation of breath on the heart rate and a load reaction on an inclination of the electrical axis of the heart. A programme application will be designed so as to simplify the analysis of values. The application will allow reconstruction of the ECG signal into a VCG scheme and an automatic calculation of the heart rate and the inclination of the electrical axis of the heart. By means of a statistical analysis the results of measurements will be evaluated.
