Algorithm

Pan-Tompkins algorithm

Numerical Algorithm

The Pan-Tompkins algorithm is commonly used to detect QRS complexes, the main spike visible in an electrocardiogram signal that represents ventricular depolarization, which makes it well suited to measuring heart rate. Detecting the QRS complex reliably is one of the first steps in assessing the state of heart health from an ECG reading.
