def _find_spike(signal, points):
"""
Looks for a pacemaker spike in a signal fragment, applying fixed thresholds
on wave duration, angles and amplitude. These thresholds are the following:
- The duration of the spike must be shorter than 30ms.
- The ascent and descent angles of the spike must be higher than 75ยบ in
common ECG scale.
- The amplitude of the spike must be at least 0.2 mV (2mm) in the edge with
lower amplitude.
- The falling edge must be of lower amplitude than the rising edge.
Parameters
----------
signal:
Numpy array containing the signal information referenced by the wave
object.
points:
Relevant points detected on the signal.
Returns
-------
out:
Tuple with three integer values, which are the begin, peak, and
end of the detected spike. If no spikes were detected, returns None.
