About

The Pan–Tompkins algorithm is commonly used to detect QRS complexes in electrocardiographic signals (ECG).

ECG QRS

The Pan–Tompkins algorithm applies a series of filters to highlight the frequency content of this rapid heart depolarization and removes the background noise. The paper suggests following pre-processing steps:

Dependencies

• numpy
• Scipy

How to use?

• Pan_tompkins_algorithm.py is required for using the algorithm. Import it in your working.
  
• The class needs ECG data and its sampling rate (Hz) as inputs and it returns a signal which can be extended by finding peaks to get heart rate events.
  
• Check the .ipynb notebook in the repo to get started.
