Abstract:
Recent developments in compression methods on the non-linear and non-stationary data, such as electrocardiograms (ECG), have received large attention by the time-frequency analysts. The technique presented in this paper is based on parametrical modeling the instantaneous module as well as the instantaneous phase, estimated directly from the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) of each ECG beat. The estimated parameters are then used to reconstruct each recorded beat. In order to evaluate the performance of our technique, data recorded from the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database are used.

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...
