Spring 2023
The electrocardiogram (ECG) records the electrical activity of a patient’s heart movement. It is one of the standard routine healthcare tests as it is non-invasive and easy to apply. In this thesis, we analyze 2 million ECGs and over 260,000 patients’ health records from the Alberta Health...
