perusEKG

perusEKG is a JavaScript library designed for generating electrocardiogram (ECG) waveforms. It allows developers to create simulated ECG signals within a web browser environment, offering a tool for educational purposes, testing of ECG analysis algorithms, or for creating visualizations in medical software. The library provides functions to generate various ECG components, such as P waves, QRS complexes, and T waves, along with customizable parameters for heart rate, amplitude, duration, and morphology.

The primary function of perusEKG is to produce a sequence of numerical data points that represent the electrical activity of the heart over time. Developers can specify the desired characteristics of the ECG signal, and the library will generate the corresponding waveform. This simulated data can then be rendered graphically using standard HTML5 Canvas or SVG elements, allowing for interactive display and manipulation. The library aims to be lightweight and easy to integrate into existing web projects, requiring minimal setup.

While perusEKG focuses on generating simplified, representative ECG waveforms, it is important to note its limitations. The simulations are not intended for diagnostic purposes and do not replicate the full complexity or pathological variations of real-world ECG recordings. Its utility lies in providing a programmatic way to create and visualize ECG-like signals for non-clinical applications, contributing to the development and demonstration of ECG-related technologies.
