Abstract: This paper presents the delineation of QRS-complexes in electrocardiogram using Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN) and Slope criteria. Before going to the step of delineation of QRS-complexes, first follow the step of detection of QRS-complexes. The results of detection rate of QRS-complexes are obtained is quite encouraging i.e. 99.23% using slope criteria and PNN. The delineation is process to determine the onset and offset of QRS-region. The delineation performance of the proposed algorithm is validated using referees annotations and the combined program median provided in the CSE multi-lead measurement library. The results of delineation are presented using BA- plots and they are found to be well within tolerance limits as specified by CSE working group.
