Table 4 The performance of the P wave detection algorithms on manually annotated signals from MITDB; evaluation in different arrhythmia content (Se – sensitivity; PP – positive predictivity; PVC – premature ventricular contraction (includes all types of ventricular arrhythmias i.e., ventricular bigeminy (B), ventricular trigeminy (T), idioventricular rhythm (IVR)), NOD – nodal rhythm, AVB II – second-degree atrioventricular block; PT – phasor transform; WT – wavelet transform).
