Recognition of the Shape of the ST Segment in ECG Waveforms

A method which recognizes the shape of the ST segment is presented in this paper. This method when applied to an ST segment gives as results: 1) the onset and the end of the ST segment and 2) the equation of a straight line or of a parabola that best approximates this ST segment.
