INTRODUCTION

ECG is the graphic representation of the heart electrical activity. During the heartbeat, a well-known pattern of electrical changes reflects exactly the action of the heart. This activity can be picked up through electrodes placed on the surface of the body. The activity of the heart is represented by characteristic waves and can be evaluated in any media support: screen visualisation, printed copy, or stored for its later study.

On the other hand, Holter tapes, through the ECG of a patient can be registered during the 24 hours of the day, has become a very useful tool for detection and pathologies modelling. The patient holds the electrodes attached to the body and is connected to a box that includes a recording device. At that moment the information is stored in an analog way into an audio tape that should be sampled for a later treatment.
