ABSTRACT
ECG is a test which measures the electrical activity of your heart to show whether or not it is working
normally. The electrocardiogram, or ECG, is the most common test used to assess the heart. The ECG is vastly
used because it is capable to screen for a variety of cardiac abnormalities, ECG machines are easily available in
the most of medical facilities, and the test is simple to perform, (risk-free and inexpensive). From the ECG
tracing, the following information can be identified. The heart rate, the heart rhythm, whether the heart muscle
has become abnormally thickened, Whether there has been a prior heart attack.
An electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG) is an electrical recording of the heart and is used in the investigation
of heart disease. The electrical signal that stimulates the heart beat starts from the Sino A trial node (SA) is
known as the heart’s “natural pacemaker” and is located at the top of the right chamber or Atrium (RA). This
signal branches through atria, causes them to contract and pump blood to the lower chambers, the ventricles,
where the signal continues via the Atria Ventricular node (AV). If the pacemaker is disrupted, the heart may beat
at an abnormal rate, impacting the circulation of blood throughout the body. The electrical signals described
above are measured by the electrocardiogram or ECG where each heart beat is displayed as a series of electrical
waves characterized by peaks and valleys. An ECG gives two major kinds of information. First, by measuring
time intervals on the ECG the duration of the electrical wave crossing the heart can be determined and
consequently we can determine whether the electrical activity is normal or slow, fast or irregular. Second, this
can be done considering measurement of electrical activity’s amount passing through the heart muscle, a
paediatric cardiologist may be able to find out if parts of the heart are too large or are overworked. The frequency
range of an ECG signal is [0.05 – 100] Hz and its dynamic range is [1-10] mV. The ECG signal is characterized
by five peaks and valleys labelled by successive letters of the alphabet P, Q, R, S and T. A good performance of an
ECG analysing system depends heavily upon the accurate and reliable detection of the QRS complex, as well as
the T and P waves. The P wave represents the activation of the upper chambers of the heart, the atria while the
QRS wave (or complex) and T wave represent the excitation of the ventricles or the lower chambers of the heart.

1. LITERATURE SURVEY
1.1 Hussein A. Jabber AL- Ziarjawey and Elias Cankaya
Suggested that the ECG is the most common test used to assess the heart. Also is an electrical recording of
the heart and is used in the investigation of heart disease. And they also suggested this program will be devoted to
the purposes of scientific research instead of clinical diagnosis.

1.2 Isha Upganlawar, Chetan Bawankar
Suggested that stream data classification suffered from some problem like infinite length, concept evaluation,
feature evaluation and concept drift. To overcome these there is a need to apply an efficient pre-processing of ECG
Signal for analysis and for taking intelligent health care decisions. and also suggest overview of wavelet
decomposition in the field of data stream mining.
2. CONCEPT DRIFT
Concept-drift which refers to the deviation of data stream from one state to another unpredictable state over
time. For example, vital signals of human body like ECG (Electrocardiogram), EEG (Electroencephalogram), and
BP (Blood Pressure) etc. are continuous in nature and abruptly changing hence there is a need to apply an efficient
real-time data stream mining techniques for taking intelligent health care decisions. In order to address Concept drift
evolved in these continuous data stream, the underlying concept changes over time, so the learner should adapt to
this change. It degrades the accuracy of classification system up to a point that the expected quality. Concept drift
occurs during the classification mining process of data stream. Accuracy has been used to detect concept drift, which
is sensitive to noise and affected by the effectiveness of the chosen classification algorithm.

4. PQRST INDEXES DETECTION
An electrocardiogram (ECG) is an electrical recording of the heart and is used in the investigation of heart
disease. This electrical activity of the heart translates into line tracings on paper. The spikes and dips in the line
tracings are called series of waves. . This series of waves consists of different waveforms, and are differentiated as
P, Q, R, S, T .The most of earlier method detecting PQRST was based on DSP technique.
5. CONCLUSION
In MATLAB program which it is easy and very useful for clinicians in research studies in addition to
students who works in medical section. The most of earlier method of ECG signal analysis for detecting PQRST was
based on DSP technique for example (Wavelet Transform and Fast Fourier Transform) and Artificial Neural
networks. Presents a developing program is a flexible and thorough tool for P, Q, R, S and T analysis from ECGs
and detects heart rate. The proposed software tool can be utilized in training for clinicians and engineers working
together in the same field which related of heart disease. The graphical user interface is very easy to use and enables
to get P, Q, R, S and T values from analysis of ECG signal.
