The wavelet transform offers advanced time-frequency analysis for complex biosignals like the electrocardiogram (ECG). This review details its emerging role in ECG signal interrogation using continuous and discrete transforms.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Signal Processing

Background:

  • Nonstationary biosignals, such as the electrocardiogram (ECG), present significant analysis challenges.
  • Traditional signal processing methods often struggle with the complexity and variability of ECG data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the application and emerging role of the wavelet transform in the detailed interrogation of ECG signals.
  • To discuss both continuous and discrete wavelet transforms in the context of ECG analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Review of literature on wavelet transform applications in biosignal processing.
  • Detailed consideration of continuous wavelet transform (CWT) for ECG analysis.
  • Detailed consideration of discrete wavelet transform (DWT) for ECG analysis.

Main Results:

  • The wavelet transform provides a powerful tool for time-frequency analysis of nonstationary signals.
  • Wavelet transform methods have shown particular utility in overcoming the challenges associated with ECG signal processing.
  • Both CWT and DWT offer distinct advantages for different aspects of ECG interrogation.

Conclusions:

  • The wavelet transform is a valuable and increasingly important tool for advanced ECG signal analysis.
  • Further research into wavelet-based ECG analysis holds promise for improved diagnostic capabilities.
  • The choice between CWT and DWT depends on the specific requirements of ECG signal interrogation.
