New algorithms improve exercise electrocardiogram (ECG) signal processing by reducing artifacts. The Finite Impulse Response Residual Filtering (FRF) and Intelligent Lead Switch algorithms enhance accuracy in heart rate and arrhythmia analysis during exercise.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Signal Processing
  • Cardiology

Background:

  • Artifacts in exercise electrocardiograms (ECGs) pose a significant challenge, particularly during high-intensity exercise.
  • Distinguishing true ECG signals from noise and interference is crucial for accurate cardiac assessment.
  • Existing methods struggle with artifact reduction, impacting diagnostic reliability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate novel algorithms for robust ECG signal processing during exercise.
  • To address the persistent problem of artifact contamination in exercise ECGs.
  • To improve the accuracy of cardiac function analysis in challenging exercise conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Introduction of the Finite Impulse Response Residual Filtering (FRF) algorithm for noise reduction.
