Abstract

The clinical importance of the ECG signal in cardiology is well established. Since noise is embedded with signal during acquisition it has to be filtered out in order to deliver accurate fast and reliable estimation of clinical parameters. The Rpeak is an important fiducial point. In the present paper an efficient and straight forward R-peak detection algorithm has been proposed. This leads to formulation of heart rate from accurate RR interval time series. The heart rate is calculated for various ECG records and then compared with original values. The records have been taken from MIT/BIH database to validate the efficiency of the proposed method. Simulation is carried out in MATLAB environment.
