Abstract

Electrocardiogram is a signal containing information about the condition and operation of heart. Nowadays, many heart diseases can be efficiently diagnosed using these signals. However, a proper recognition and classification of the heart signals are essential requirement for the diagnosis of heart diseases. In this study, emphasizing on this requirement, a new ECG simulator based on MATLAB Web Figure called WebECG is designed and implemented to facilitate the education on ECG signals. Advanced flexibility and good visualization capabilities including 3-dimension view, zoom and move on ECG graphics are provided by WebECG. The users are able to plot ECG signals with different parameters, to plot the ECGs of nine arrhythmia types. Furthermore, WebECG is capable to add three different noises to ECG and to plot/analyze long-term ECGs. These properties of the WebECG support efficient web-based education of ECG signals.
