Electrocardiogram (ECG) Signal Processing

På svenska

Author

Summary, in English

Signal processing of electrocardiographic signals has a long and rich history and has greatly helped to enhance the diagnostic capability, especially when signals are recorded in noisy environments. This article gives an introductory presentation of the basic set of algorithms used for conditioning the ECG with respect to different types of noise and artifacts, detecting heartbeats, extracting basic ECG measurements, and performing data compression. Signal processing in clinical applications is exemplified by the high-resolution ECG and T wave alternans.
