Cardiovascular disease is the first cause of death around the world. In accomplishing quick and accurate diagnosis, automatic electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis algorithm plays an important role, whose first step is QRS detection. The threshold algorithm of QRS complex detection is known for its high-speed computation and minimized memory storage. In this mobile era, threshold algorithm can be easily transported into portable, wearable, and wireless ECG systems. However, the detection rate of the threshold algorithm still calls for improvement. An improved adaptive threshold algorithm for QRS detection is reported in this paper. The main steps of this algorithm are preprocessing, peak finding, and adaptive threshold QRS detecting. The detection rate is 99.41%, the sensitivity (Se) is 99.72%, and the specificity (Sp) is 99.69% on the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia database. A comparison is also made with two other algorithms, to prove our superiority. The suspicious abnormal area is shown at the end of the algorithm and RR-Lorenz plot drawn for doctors and cardiologists to use as aid for diagnosis.

The Electrocardiogram (ECG), represents the electrical activity of the heart. It is characterized by a number of waves P, QRS, T which are correlated to the status of the heart activity. The most predominant wave set is the QRS complex. In this paper, we have developed a new algorithm for the detection of the QRS complexes. The algorithm consists of several steps: signal to noise enhancement, differentiation, first-order backward difference, non linear transform, moving window integrator and QRS detection. This algorithm is tested on ECG signals from the universal MIT-BIH arrhythmia database and compared with Pan and Tompkins' QRS detection method. The results we obtain show that our method performs better than the Pan and Tompkins' method. Our algorithm results in lower false positives and lower false negatives.

This paper studies two different Electrocardiography (ECG) preprocessing algorithms, namely Pan and Tompkins (PT) and Derivative Based (DB) algorithm, which is crucial of QRS complex detection in cardiovascular disease detection. Both algorithms are compared in terms of QRS detection accuracy and computation timing performance, with implementation on System-on-Chip (SoC) based embedded system that prototype on Altera DE2-115 Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) platform as embedded software. Both algorithms are tested with 30 minutes ECG data from each of 48 different patient records obtain from MIT-BIH arrhythmia database. Results show that PT algorithm achieve 98.15% accuracy with 56.33 seconds computation while DB algorithm achieve 96.74% with only 22.14 seconds processing time. Based on the study, an optimized PT algorithm with improvement on Moving Windows Integrator (MWI) has been proposed to accelerate its computation. Result shows that the proposed optimized Moving Windows Integrator algorithm achieves 9.5 times speed up than original MWI while retaining its QRS detection accuracy.

Accurate QRS detection is an important first step for almost all automatic electrocardiogram (ECG) analyzing systems. However, QRS detection is difficult, not only because of the wide variety of ECG waveforms but also because of the interferences caused by various types of noise. This study proposes an improved QRS complex detection algorithm based on a four-level biorthogonal spline wavelet transform. A noise evaluation method is proposed to quantify the noise amount and to select a lower-noise wavelet detail signal instead of removing high-frequency components in the preprocessing stage. The QRS peaks can be detected by the extremum pairs in the selected wavelet detail signal and the proposed decision rules. The results show the high accuracy of the proposed algorithm, which achieves a 0.25% detection error rate, 99.84% sensitivity, and 99.92% positive prediction value, evaluated using the MIT-BIT arrhythmia database. The proposed algorithm improves the accuracy of QRS detection in comparison with several wavelet-based and non-wavelet-based approaches.

Wavelet transform has emerged as a powerful tool for time frequency analysis of complex nonstationary signals such as the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. In this paper, the design of good wavelets for cardiac signal is discussed from the perspective of orthogonal filter banks. Optimum wavelet for ECG signal is designed and evaluated based on perfect reconstruction conditions and QRS complex detection. The performance is evaluated by using the ECG records from the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database. In the first step, the filter coefficients (optimum wavelet) is designed by reparametrization of filter coefficients. In the second step, ECG signal is decomposed to three levels using the optimum wavelet and reconstructed. From the reconstructed signal, the range of error signal is calculated and it is compared with the performance of other suitable wavelets already available in the literature. The optimum wavelet gives the maximum error range as 10-14–10-11 which is better than that of other wavelets existing in the literature. In the third step, the baseline wandering is removed from the ECG signal for better detection of QRS complex. The optimum wavelet detects all R peaks of all records. That is using optimum wavelet 100% sensitivity and positive predictions are achieved. Based on the performance, it is confirmed that optimum wavelet is more suitable for ECG signal.

The dynamic threshold algorithm (DTA) presented by Pan Tompkins is a popular QRS detection method, and it has high sensitivity and specificity. However, the accuracy of this algorithm would be compromised if its sensitivity is increased. In this study, an enhanced dynamic threshold algorithm (EDTA) based on dynamic threshold rules is proposed, which add a compensation scheme to reduce the rate of misdetection and missed detection of R wave in low signal-to-noise ratio condition, sensitivity and detection error rate are calculated on simulated and clinical data to compare the performance between EDTA and DTA, and EDTA yields a competitive results. For the clinical data, the average accuracy rate of EDTA is 99.24%, which is higher than that of DTA at 95.98%. Further compared experiments among EDTA and the two other popular algorithms are conducted and the results of their validation over a public database are given and discussed, which prove our superiority.

<p><span lang="EN-IN">This paper presents a novel method for QRS detection. To accomplish this task ECG signal was first filtered by using a third order Savitzky Golay filter. The filtered ECG signal was then preprocessed by a Wavelet based denoising in a real-time fashion to minimize the undefined noise level. R-peak was then detected from denoised signal after wavelet denoising. Windowing mechanism was also applied for finding any missing R-peaks. All the 48 records have been used to test the proposed method. During this testing, 99.97% sensitivity and 99.99% positive predictivity is obtained for QRS complex detection.</span></p>
