The electrocardiogram (ECG) is widely used for the diagnosis of heart diseases. However, ECG signals are easily contaminated by different noises. This paper presents efficient denoising and compressed sensing (CS) schemes for ECG signals based on basis pursuit (BP). In the process of signal denoising and reconstruction, the low-pass filtering method and alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) optimization algorithm are used. This method introduces dual variables, adds a secondary penalty term, and reduces constraint conditions through alternate optimization to optimize the original variable and the dual variable at the same time. This algorithm is able to remove both baseline wander and Gaussian white noise. The effectiveness of the algorithm is validated through the records of the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database. The simulations show that the proposed ADMM-based method performs better in ECG denoising. Furthermore, this algorithm keeps the details of the ECG signal in reconstruction and achieves higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and smaller mean square error (MSE).

The random interpolation average (RIA) is a simple yet good denoising method. It firstly employed several times of random interpolations to a noisy signal, then applied the wavelet transform (WT) denoising to each interpolated signal and averaged all of the denoised signals to finish the denoising process. In this paper, multiple wavelet bases and the level-dependent threshold estimator were used in the RIA scheme so that it can be more suitable for the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal denoising. The synthetic ECG signal, real ECG signal and four types of noise were used to perform comparison experiments. The results show that the proposed method can provide the best signal to noise ratio (SNR) improvement in the deoising applications of the synthetic ECG signal and the real ECG signals. For the real ECG signals denoising, the average SNR improvement is 5.886 dB, while the result of the RIA scheme with single wavelet basis (RIAS), the fully translation-invariant [TI (fully)] and the WT denoising using hard thresholding [WT (hard)] are 5.577, 5.274 and 3.484 dB, respectively.

Heart monitoring kits are only available for bedridden patients and the traditional heart monitoring kits have many wires that are obstacle patients’ mobility. Most of the existing heart monitoring kits can not detect heart diseases. Thus, the current study proposed a wireless heart monitoring kit to monitor patients with a heart abnormality. The proposed kit can detect and classify four arrhythmia types as well as normal ECG with high accuracy. The design and development of the wireless heart abnormality monitoring kit (WHAMK) in this research were divided into three stages. These stages are the development of an arrhythmias detection and classification method using artificial intelligence approach, design and implementation of the kit hardware, and design and coding of the kit software. Arrhythmias classification approach is divided into four stages, namely obtaining the electrocardiograph (ECG) signals, preprocessing, features extraction and classification. The features extraction method are based on statistical features. The library support vector machine (LIBSVM) was used to classify the ECG signals. The hardware of the kit is divided into two parts, namely ECG body sensor (EBS), and processing and displaying unit (PDU). EBS working on acquiring the ECG signal from patient's body. PDU working on processing the collected ECG signal, plotting it and detecting the arrhythmias. Arrhythmias classification approach was developed by using statistical features and LIBSVM. They were implemented in the software of the kit to enable it to detect the arrhythmias in the real-time and fully automatically. The kit can detect and classify four arrhythmia types as well as normal sinus rhythm (NSR). These types of arrhythmia are premature atrial contraction (PAC), premature ventricles contraction (PVC), Bradycardia and Tachycardia. The proposed kit gave a good accuracy for detecting and classifying Arrhythmia with the overall accuracy of 96.2%.

This study explored the performance of multiscale entropy (MSE) for the assessment of mobile ECG signal quality, aiming to provide a reasonable application guideline. Firstly, the MSE for the typical noises, that is, high frequency (HF) noise, low frequency (LF) noise, and power-line (PL) noise, was analyzed. The sensitivity of MSE to the signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the synthetic artificial ECG plus different noises was further investigated. The results showed that the MSE values could reflect content level of various noises contained in the ECG signals. For the synthetic ECG plus LF noise, the MSE was sensitive to SNR within higher range of scale factor. However, for the synthetic ECG plus HF noise, the MSE was sensitive to SNR within lower range of scale factor. Thus, a recommended scale factor range within 5 to 10 was given. Finally, the results were verified on the real ECG signals, which were derived from MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database and Noise Stress Test Database. In all, MSE could effectively assess the noise level on the real ECG signals, and this study provided a valuable reference for applying MSE method to the practical signal quality assessment of mobile ECG.

ECG signal is, as a vital method performed on the heart study and clinical diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases, an important human physiological signal, containing the human cardiac conduction system of physiological and pathological information. Aiming at the weak low frequency characteristic of ECG signals, the core circuit based on the AD620 and LM324 amplifier is given. After analyzing the major components of the ECG signal and the frequency range of interference, weak ECG signal collected by the electrodes is amplified by the preamplifier circuit, and the interference then is wiped out by using a low-pass filer, a high-pass filer, 50Hz notch filer and back amplifier circuit, finally a right wave of ECG is received. The characteristics of the system features the merits of high input impedance, high CMRR, low noise, less excursion and high SNR(signal to noise ratio), low cost and so on.

An efficient method for Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal denoising based on synchronous detection and Hilbert transform techniques is presented. The goal of the method is to decompose a noisy ECG signal into two components classified according to their energy: (1) component with high energy representing the dominant component which is the clean ECG signal, and (2) component with low energy representing the sub-dominant component which is the contaminant noise. The investigated approach is validated through out some experimentations on MIT-BIH ECG database. Experimental results show that random noises can be effectively suppressed from ECG signals.

AbstractElectrocardiogram (ECG) is an effective and non-invasive indicator for the detection and prevention of arrhythmia. ECG signals are susceptible to noise contamination, which can lead to errors in ECG interpretation. Therefore, ECG pretreatment is important for accurate analysis. In this paper, a method of noise reduction based on deep learning is proposed. The method is divided into two stages, and two corresponding models are formed. In the first stage, a one-dimensional U-net model is designed for ECG signal denoising to eliminate noise as much as possible. The one-dimensional DR-net model in the second stage is used to reconstruct the ECG signal and to correct the waveform distortion caused by noise removal in the first stage. In this paper, the U-net and the DR-net are constructed by the convolution method to achieve end-to-end mapping from noisy ECG signals to clean ECG signals. The ECG data used in this paper are from CPSC2018, and the noise signal is from MIT-BIH Noise Stress Test Database (NSTDB). In the experiment, the improvement in the signal-to-noise ratio SNRimp, the root mean square error decrease RMSEde, and the correlation coefficient P, are used to evaluate the performance of the network. This two-stage method is compared with FCN and U-net alone. The experimental results show that the two-stage noise reduction method can eliminate complex noise in the ECG signal while retaining the characteristic shape of the ECG signal. According to the results, we believe that the proposed method has a good application prospect in clinical practice.

Electrocardiogram (ECG) artefact removal is the major research topic as the pure ECG signals are an essential part of diagnosing heart-related problems. ECG signals are highly prominent to the interaction with the other signals like the Electromyography (EMG), Electroencephalography (EEG), and Electrooculography (EOG) signals and the interference mainly occurs at the time of recording. The removal of the artefacts from the ECG signal is a hectic challenge, for which, a novel algorithm is proposed in this work. The proposed method utilizes the adaptive filter termed as the (Dragonfly optimization + Levenberg Marqueret learning algorithm) DLM-based Nonlinear Autoregressive with eXogenous input (NARX) neural network for the removal of the artefacts from the ECG signals. Once the artefact signal is identified using the adaptive filter, the identified signal is subtracted from the primary signal that is composed of the ECG signal and the artefacts through an adaptive subtraction procedure. The clean signal thus obtained is used for effective diagnosis purposes, and the experimentation performed to prove the effectiveness of the proposed method proves that the proposed method obtained a maximum Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 52.8789 dB, a minimum error of 0.1832, and minimum error of 0.428.

The electrocardiogram (ECG) signal has often been reported to play an important role in the primary diagnosis, prognosis, and survival analysis of heart diseases. Electrocardiography has brought several valuable impacts on the practice of medicine. This paper deals with the feature extraction and automatic analysis of different ECG signal waves using derivative based/ Pan-Tompkins based algorithms. The ECG signal contains an important amount of information that can be exploited in different way. It allows for the analysis of cardiac health condition. The discrimination of ECG signals using the Data Mining Decision Tree techniques is of crucial importance in the cardiac disease therapy and control of cardiac arrhythmias. Different ECG signals from MIT/BIH Arrhythmia data base are used for ECG features extraction and analysis. Two pathologies are considered: atrial fibrillation and right bundle branch block. Some decision tree classification algorithms currently in use, including C4.5, Improved C4.5, CHAID (Chi square Automatic Interaction Detector) and Improved CHAID are performed for performance analysis. Promising results have been achieved using the C4.5 classifier, with an overall accuracy of 96.87%.
