Background:

P wave and T wave fusion in electrocardiogram (ECG) signals during atrial premature contractions (APC) complicates analysis.
Accurate P wave extraction is crucial for diagnosing supra-ventricular arrhythmias and measuring P wave parameters.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose a novel T wave cancellation method for P wave extraction from fused ECG signals.
To improve the accuracy of P wave extraction in the presence of APC.

Main Methods:

A maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimation-based T wave cancellation technique is introduced.
Simultaneous estimation of T wave and its peak timing point for accurate subtraction.
The T wave peak timing point serves as an alignment reference for subtraction.

Main Results:

The proposed MAP estimation method outperforms traditional T wave cancellation in simulation (lower normalized mean square error, higher cross-correlation index).
Extracted P waves from real ECGs with APC show greater morphological similarity to non-overlapping P waves compared to the traditional method.

Conclusions:

The novel MAP estimation-based T wave cancellation method effectively extracts P waves from fused ECG signals during APC.
This technique offers improved accuracy and morphological fidelity for P wave analysis in clinical settings.
