In the recent years Cardiac disorder is a very common problem faced by the people. The ECG is the most important test for the interpretation of cardiac abnormalities. The ECG gives the electrical activity of the human heart and by analyzing the deviation in these electrical activities, conclusion can be drawn. The study is divided into two parts. In the first part it deals with the detection of real time ECG waveform from the MIT-BIT Arrhythmia database and then these signals is further diagnosed by applying Wavelet Transform for R-peak detection. The second part of the study deals with the calculation of heart rate with the help of R-peaks detected and accordingly the cardiac arrhythmia can be analyzed. The study has been inspired by the need to find an efficient method for ECG Signal Analysis which is simple and has good accuracy and takes less computation time.

Peak-to-peak intervals in Photoplethysmography (PPG) can be used for heart rate variability (HRV) estimation if the PPG is collected from a healthy person at rest. Many factors, such as a person’s movements or hardware issues, can affect the signal quality and make some parts of the PPG signal unsuitable for reliable peak detection. Therefore, a robust HRV estimation algorithm should not only detect peaks, but also identify corrupted signal parts. We introduce such an algorithm in this paper. It uses continuous wavelet transform (CWT) for peak detection and a combination of features derived from CWT and metrics based on PPG signals’ self-similarity to identify corrupted parts. We tested the algorithm on three different datasets: a newly introduced Welltory-PPG-dataset containing PPG signals collected with smartphones using the Welltory app, and two publicly available PPG datasets: TROIKAand PPG-DaLiA. The algorithm demonstrated good accuracy in peak-to-peak intervals detection and HRV metric estimation.

Using the numerical discrete technique with unstructured grids, conformal perfectly matched layer (PML) absorbing boundary in the discontinuous Galerkin time-domain (DGTD) can be set flexibly so as to save lots of computing resources. Based on the DGTD equations in an orthogonal curvilinear coordinate system, the processes of parameter transformation for 2-D UPML between the coordinate systems of elliptical and Cartesian are given; and the expressions of transition matrix are derived. The calculation scheme of conductivity distribution in elliptic cylinder absorbing layer is given, and the calculation coefficient of DGTD in elliptic UPML is calculated. Furthermore, the 2-D iterative formulas of DGTD and that of auxiliary equation in the elliptical cylinder UPML are derived; the conformal UPML calculation in DGTD is realized. Numerical results show that very good accuracy and computational efficiency are achieved by using the method in this paper. Compared to the rectangular computational region, both the memory and computation time of conformal UPML absorbing boundary are reduced by more than 20%.

Abstract In this work, we present an improved steganography for electrocardiogram (ECG) hosts to solve the issues of existing ECG steganographic methods, which have less hiding capacity and insufficient signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)/ peak SNR (PSNR). Based on the integer wavelet transform (IWT) domain, sensitive (or private) data such as patients’ data and personal information can be efficiently embedded in an ECG host via the IWT coefficient adjustment and the least significant bit (LSB) technique. Simulations confirmed that the SNR/ PSNR, and payload of the proposed method outperform those of existing techniques. In addition, the proposed method is capable of resisting attacks, such as cropping, Gaussian noise-addition inversion, scaling, translation, and truncation attacks from third parties (or adversaries). Due to the fast computation time, the proposed method can be employed in portable biometric devices or wearable electronics.
