Abstract
A method for detecting an R-wave from an ECG signal derived from a living body, the ECG signal including a plurality of ECG channel signals, the method comprising the steps of providing a plurality of channel R-wave detectors each processing a distinct signal of the plurality of channel ECG signals to generate a distinct channel trigger signal of a plurality of channel trigger signals, and inputting each channel trigger signal into a composite R-wave detector to generate a composite R-wave trigger, whereby the composite R-wave detector more accurately detects R-waves than each of the plurality of channel R-wave detectors.
