Study and analysis of electrocardiography signals for computation of R peak value for sleep apnea patient

Abstract

In this work, identification of sleep apnea symptoms is performed using Electrocardiography (ECG). ECG wave analysis is performed for sleep apnea patient. Sleep Apnea is a type of sleep disorder and it is also recognized by polysomnography (PSG) devices. Proposed article uses eight male patient data of similar age group (ranging from 51 to 53) and similar height (ranging from 173 to 179). The article found a relationship between the varying degrees of sleep apnea and the corresponding R peak value. First, ECG signal is preprocessed and then R peak value of different apnea patients is calculated.
