GEH Calculation

See pdf file in the repository for GEH parameter calculation methods.

GEH MATLAB Code

See GEH_analysis_git.m file in the repository for GEH parameter calculation. Test file is provided (90757.mat) for algorithm testing. Kors_git.m file is a code for Kors transformation (transforms 12-lead ECG to XYZ (Frank) ECG). See "RR__..." files for calculation of represented cardiac cycle.

Test files

One test file (90757.mat) is provided for GEH calculation testing. Sampling rate 500 Hz. Amplitude resolution 1 µV. Raw 12-lead ECG file (12LECG.mat) is provided to illustrate Kors transformation from 12-lead to XYZ (Frank) ECG
