Adaptive sensing of ECG signals using R-R interval prediction
Abstract:
There is growing demand for systems consisting of tiny sensor nodes powered with small batteries that acquire electrocardiogram (ECG) data and wirelessly transmit the data to remote base stations or mobile phones continuously over a long period. Conserving electric power in the wireless sensor nodes (WSNs) is essential in such systems. Adaptive sensing is promising for this purpose since it can reduce the energy consumed not only for data transmission but also for sensing. However, the basic method of adaptive sensing, referred to here as "plain adaptive sensing," is not suitable for ECG signals because it sometimes capture the R waves defectively. We introduce an improved adaptive sensing method for ECG signals by incorporating R-R interval prediction. Our method improves the characteristics of ECG compression and drastically reduces the total energy consumption of the WSNs.

Correlation 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...

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....

Electrocardiogram Fundamentals
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.
