A QRS-complex detector of the electrocardiogram signal for the long-term monitoring of the patient’s condition

Аннотация

A procedure for detection of the QRS complexes of electrocardiogram (ECG) signals for systems of long-term monitoring of the patient’s condition based on successive use of the band-pass filtering, the Hilbert transform, and an adaptive threshold algorithm is considered. The efficiency of different QRS-complex detectors has been investigated for model ECG signals in the presence of interferences of various nature and intensity. The efficiency of the proposed procedure has been additionally tested using various clinic records of ECG signals from the MIT Physionet database.
