Myocardial infarction is one of the most serious and prevailing heart disease faced in today’s world, occurs when blood supply stops to a certain artery. Early and accurate detection of myocardial infarction reduces the mortality rate of heart attack. In this paper, we proposed an algorithm for early detection of myocardial infarction based on analysis of ST segment in electrocardiogram (ECG). This algorithm consists of following steps: loading of a database from physionet, preprocessing of a signal, detection of QRS complex, P, T wave, ST segment and other related parameters. European ST-T database was used for evaluation of an algorithm for detection of ST segment.
