ANALYSIS OF ECG SIGNAL FOR DETECTION OF CARDIAC ABNORMALITIES

Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal analysis is an important technique used for monitoring the electrical activity of the human heart and detecting cardiac abnormalities. Cardiovascular diseases are one of the major causes of death worldwide, so early detection is very important for proper treatment. The ECG signal consists of different waveform components such as P wave, QRS complex, and T wave which represent the electrical functioning of the heart. By analyzing these components, it is possible to identify irregular heart conditions such as arrhythmia and other cardiac disorders. In this project, ECG signals are analyzed using signal processing techniques to detect abnormalities. The acquired ECG signal is first processed to remove noise and improve signal quality. Important features like heart rate, amplitude, and time intervals are extracted from the ECG waveform. These features help in identifying deviations from normal heart activity. The system helps in detecting abnormal patterns in heart signals. The proposed method provides an effective way to monitor cardiac health. It can assist medical professionals in early diagnosis of heart diseases. Therefore, ECG signal analysis plays a vital role in modern healthcare and cardiac monitoring systems.
