ecglab

An electrocardiography laboratory for Nelson. It reads an ECG from the common open formats, finds the beats, measures the waves, labels the beats, finds the rhythm, computes heart rate variability and the twelve-lead measurements, draws the signal on calibrated paper, and reports which record and which figure each result was checked against.

Research software, not a medical device. ecglab is for research and teaching. It is not a medical device and must not be used for clinical diagnosis, patient monitoring, treatment decisions, or any medical purpose.
