Abstract:
His-bundle electrocardiogram micropotentials are usually obtained by serial-signal averaging, because no acceptable, satisfactory solution for beat-by-beat removal of power-line interference and electromyographic noise has been found. A method has been developed for surface beat-to-beat His-bundle potential recovery, with the hypothesis that no distortion in the signal shape is admissible. It is based on consecutive power-line interference subtraction and wavelet-domain electromyographic noise suppression, modified to match the strict criteria for detecting low-amplitude His potentials. The beat-to-beat wavelet-domain Wiener filtering uses a pilot signal estimate obtained from a limited number (around 20) of heart beat averages. The method resulted in an improvement of more than 4.5 dB in the signal-to-noise ratio and more than 20% reduction in mean absolute error, both measured along the P-Q segment. It is applicable for ECG signals contaminated by moderate electromyogram noise, with an initial signal-to-noise ratio of 15 dB or higher.

An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a diagnostic tool for identifying cardiac conditions such as arrhythmias, conduction abnormalities, and myocardial ischemia.
Definition
An electrocardiogram (ECG) visualizes the heart's electrical activity by tracing the electrical movement associated with each heartbeat on a graph or monitor. As the heart beats, an electrical wave passes through it, correlating with the cardiac cycle events.

01:25Correlation between ECG and Cardiac Cycle
A cardiac action potential originates in the SA node and spreads throughout the atria and the AV node in approximately 0.03 seconds. This results in the P wave in an ECG and triggers atrial contraction. The action potential is then briefly slowed at the AV node, allowing the atria to contract and fill the ventricles with blood before...

Components of the Electrocardiogram
The primary components of a normal ECG waveform in Normal sinus rhythm(NSR) include the P wave, PR interval, QRS complex, ST segment, T wave, and occasionally a U wave.
ECG waveforms are divided by vertical and horizontal lines at standard intervals.
The horizontal axis measures time and rate, and the vertical axis measures amplitude or voltage. When...
