Rapid automatic detection of the fiducial points—namely, the P wave, QRS complex, and T wave—is necessary for early detection of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). In this paper, we present an R peak detection method using the wavelet transform (WT) and a modified Shannon energy envelope (SEE) for rapid ECG analysis. The proposed WTSEE algorithm performs a wavelet transform to reduce the size and noise of ECG signals and creates SEE after first-order differentiation and amplitude normalization. Subsequently, the peak energy envelope (PEE) is extracted from the SEE. Then, R peaks are estimated from the PEE, and the estimated peaks are adjusted from the input ECG. Finally, the algorithm generates the final R features by validating R-R intervals and updating the extracted R peaks. The proposed R peak detection method was validated using 48 first-channel ECG records of the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database with a sensitivity of 99.93%, positive predictability of 99.91%, detection error rate of 0.16%, and accuracy of 99.84%. Considering the high detection accuracy and fast processing speed due to the wavelet transform applied before calculating SEE, the proposed method is highly effective for real-time applications in early detection of CVDs.

Morphology Changes

QRS complex is the most important part in electrocardiogram (ECG) as it contains the most important information of heart activities. R-peak detection is the first, yet crucial, step in most ECG automatic diagnose methods. Due to the existence of noise in ECG signals and changes in QRS morphology, most existing methods are not robust in different conditions. In the field of intelligent remote health caring, in addition to the detection accuracy, timeliness is also an important research issue. In this paper, wavelet transform and energy window transform are introduced, which form the basis of a novel R-peak detection method. Wavelet transform is used to efficiently reduce noise and highlight useful ECG signal for it has good time-frequency resolution characters, and energy window transform converts time domain signal to energy domain, which makes it easier to isolate QRS complex from other signals. As a result, influence from QRS morphology changes can be effectively alleviated. To validate the effectiveness of this new method, ECG records of MIT-BIH arrhythmia database are used in the experiments. The experiment results show that the proposed method is efficient and robust to noise and QRS morphology changes. The computational cost of the proposed method has also been evaluated.

Abstract The non-stationary ECG signals are used as a key tools in screening coronary diseases. ECG recording is collected from millions of cardiac cells’ and depolarization and re-polarization conducted in a synchronized manner as: The P-wave occurs first, followed by the QRScomplex and the T-wave, which will repeat in each beat. The signal is altered in a cardiac beat period for different heart conditions. This change can be observed in order to diagnose the patient’s heart status. There are life-threatening (critical) and non-life - threatening (noncritical) arrhythmia (abnormal Heart). Critical arrhythmia gives little time for surgery, whereas non-critical needs additional life-saving care. Simple naked eye diagnosis can mislead the detection. At that point, Computer Assisted Diagnosis (CAD) is therefore required. In this paper Dual Tree Wavelet Transform (DTWT) used as a feature extraction technique along with Convolution Neural Network (CNN) to detect abnormal Heart. The findings of this research and associated studies are without any cumbersome artificial environments. The CAD method proposed has high generalizability; it can help doctors efficiently identify diseases and decrease misdiagnosis.

The current signal harmonic detection method(s) cannot reduce the errors in the analysis and extraction of mixed harmonics in the power grid. This paper designs a harmonic detection method based on discrete Fourier transform (DFT) and discrete wavelet transform (DWT) using Bartlett–Hann window function. It improves the detection accuracy of the existing methods in the low frequency steady-state part. In addition, it also separates the steady harmonics from the attenuation harmonics of the high frequency part. Simulation results show that the proposed harmonic detection method improves the detection accuracy of the steady-state part by 1.5175% compared to the existing method. The average value of low frequency steady-state amplitude detection of the proposed method is about 95.3375%. At the same time, the individual harmonic components of the signal are accurately detected and recovered in the high frequency part, and separation of the steady-state harmonics and the attenuated harmonics is achieved. This method is beneficial to improve the ability of harmonic analysis in the power grid.

Identifying and delineating P and T wave characteristics are greatly important in interpreting and diagnosing electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. P and T waves with high accuracy are more difficult to delineate because of their various shapes, positions, directions and boundaries. This paper proposes a high-speed approach to delineate P and T waves in a single lead using two high-speed algorithms of high detection accuracy. This approach presents a simple, adaptive and intelligent P and T wave scan method that determines the onset, peak and end time locations within an adaptive period appointed by previous records of the QRS complex. By using a translating (rising to/from falling) interval inside the scan wave, the peak time location of P and T waves and the T wave sign (upward or downward) are determined. Continuously, this time location is considered a reference point for determining the onset and the end time locations based on a series of computed outcomes related to amplitude and slope difference. The new approach is validated by 105 annotated records from the QT database collected from seven different categories of ECG signals. Simulation results show that the average detection rates of sensitivity and positive predictivity are equal to 99.97% and 99.36% for P wave and 99.98% and 99.26% for T wave, respectively. The average time errors computed by the mean and standard deviation for the P wave onset, peak and end time locations are -3.00 ± 2.94, -0.69 ± 4.42 and 0.67 ± 4.56 ms, respectively. The values for T wave are -3.33 ± 4.96, 0.24 ± 5.36 and -0.36 ± 5.68 ms. Results demonstrate the reliability, accuracy and forcefulness of the proposed approach in delineating various categories of P and T waves.

The R peak detection algorithm is a necessary tool for monitoring and diagnosing the cardiovascular disease. This paper presents the R peak detection algorithm based on continuous wavelet transform (CWT) and Shannon energy. We evaluate the proposed algorithm with the 48 record of ECG data from MIT-BIH arrhythmia database. Results show that the proposed algorithm gives very good DER (0.48%-0.50%) compared to those from previous publications (0.168%-0.87%). We demonstrated that the use of the CWT with a single scaling parameter is capable of removing noises. In addition, we found that Shannon energy cannot improve the DER value but it can highlight the R peak from the low QRS complex in ECG beat leading to the improvement in the robustness of the R peak detection algorithm.

Cardiovascular disease is one of the major diseases that threaten the human health. But the existing electrocardiograph (ECG) monitoring system has many limitations in practical application. In order to monitor ECG in real time, a portable ECG monitoring system based on the Android platform is developed to meet the needs of the public. The system uses BMD101 ECG chip to collect and process ECG signals in the Android system, where data storage and waveform display of ECG data can be realized. The Bluetooth HC-07 module is used for ECG data transmission. The abnormal ECG can be judged by P wave, QRS bandwidth, and RR interval. If abnormal ECG is found, an early warning mechanism will be activated to locate the user’s location in real time and send preset short messages, so that the user can get timely treatment, avoiding dangerous occurrence. The monitoring system is convenient and portable, which brings great convenie to the life of ordinary cardiovascular users.
