SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR QRS COMPLEX DETECTION IN COMPRESSIVELY SENSED ELECTROCARDIOGRAM DATA

摘要

Electrocardiogram (ECG) data is compressible at high compression ratios using suitable compressive sensing techniques. Methods of detecting QRS complexes in an ECG signal may comprise receiving compressively-sensed measurements of an ECG signal; constructing an estimate of the ECG signal from the received compressively-sensed measurements, and detecting QRS complexes in the estimate of the ECG signal. QRS complexes may be detected by computing the first-order difference of the estimate of the ECG signal and processing the first-order difference of the estimate of the ECG signal to locate one or more significant natural blocks, each indicating a QRS complex in the ECG signal. QRS complexes may also be detected by using a conventional QRS detection algorithm on the estimate of the ECG signal. Also disclosed are related systems for detecting QRS complexes and for compressively sensing ECG signals.
