Detection of atrial fibrillation in ECG

Aim of this thesis is description of problems of atrial fibrillation and methods that could be used for detection in the electrocardiogram. The introductory part of the theoretical analysis deals with the principle of electrophysiology of the heart and mainly the pathophysiology of atrial fibrillation. Additionally the work is focused on describing methods on automatic atrial fibrillation detection and capabilities of PhysioNet database. In the practical part methods are implemented in the MATLAB environment. After using the statistics to evaluate the quality of the parameters, the automatic classification of the data was performed by the method of The Nearest Neighbour. Finally, the accuracy of testing is presented
