Abstract
The need for efficient coding of ECG signals is continually increasing with modern use of long-term monitoring and telemedicine. Here, the authors present an algorithm based on long-term prediction (LTP) compression. The single-channel LTP algorithm has been generalized to the multichannel case and is called the MC-LTP algorithm. This algorithm compresses PQRST beats using a pattern codebook with "typical" beats.
