This study presents a lossy Electrocardiogram (ECG) compression algorithm using R-R segmentation and pattern matching. The method achieves high compression ratios for regular heart signals by exploiting heartbeat similarities.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Signal Processing
  • Medical Informatics

Background:

  • Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals are quasi-periodic, exhibiting similarities between consecutive heartbeats.
  • Efficient compression of ECG data is crucial for storage, transmission, and analysis in healthcare.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a novel lossy ECG compression algorithm.
  • To leverage signal morphology similarities for improved data reduction.

Main Methods:

  • The algorithm employs R-R interval segmentation to divide the ECG signal into heartbeats.
  • Segment matching and an adaptive dictionary are used to identify and encode similar patterns.
  • New patterns are incorporated when significant morphological changes are detected.

Main Results:

  • High compression ratios were achieved, particularly for regular ECG signals.
  • The algorithm effectively utilizes the quasi-periodic nature of ECG data.
  • Simulations demonstrated the feasibility of the proposed compression technique.

Conclusions:

  • The R-R segmentation and segment matching approach offers a promising method for ECG compression.
  • This algorithm can significantly reduce ECG data size while preserving essential diagnostic information for regular signals.
