Abstract

This paper presents a new QRS complex detection algorithm that can be applied in various on-line ECG processing systems. The algorithm is performed in two steps: first a wavelet transform filtering is applied to the signal, then QRS complex localization is performed using a maximum detection and peak classification algorithm. The algorithm has been tested in two phases. First the QRS detection in ECG registrations from the MIT-BIH database has been performed, which led to an average detection ratio of 99.5%. Then, the algorithm has been implemented into a microcontroller-driven portable Holter device
