Application of the multi-component based CC approach (a) and the non-syntactic based approach (b) to abnormal ECG waveform. In this case First Degree Heart Block is present in the recording. Markers included on the bottom of the trace are those indicated and inserted by clinical experts. The notation used is as follows: t] represents the position of the markers for the t wave amplitude and t wave offset respectively; [N] represents the position of the markers for the QRS onset, peak and offset respectively, where N is used to represent a QRS complex; [p] represents the position of the markers for the p wave onset, amplitude and p wave offset respectively. Markers included on the top of the trace are those indicated following automated processing. The notation used is as follows: [Q R S] represents the position of the markers for the QRS onset, QRS peak and QRS offset respectively; T T] represents the position of the markers for the T wave peak and T wave offset respectively; [P P P] represents the position of the markers for the p wave onset, peak and offset respectively. In instances where no markers have been indicated, the algorithm has failed to correctly detect the waveform boundaries and peaks.
