A novel drift filter using simple operations can be applied in real-time on moderate microprocessors. This digital filter effectively suppresses baseline wander in electrocardiograms (ECGs) with minimal T-wave distortion.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Signal Processing

Background:

  • Baseline wander in electrocardiograms (ECGs) can obscure diagnostic information.
  • Existing drift filters may require significant computational resources.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a computationally efficient drift filter for real-time ECG analysis.
  • To evaluate the filter's performance in suppressing baseline fluctuations with minimal signal distortion.

Main Methods:

  • A digital filter was designed by placing poles near the zeros of the transfer function (1 - Z-N).
  • The filter utilizes only addition and shifting operations for real-time implementation.
  • The filter was tested on normal ECG data with moderate baseline fluctuations.

Main Results:

  • The proposed drift filter demonstrated satisfactory suppression of baseline wander.
  • Minimal observable distortion of the T-wave component of the ECG was achieved.
  • The filter's design allows for real-time application on moderate-speed microprocessors.

Conclusions:

  • The developed drift filter offers an efficient solution for real-time ECG baseline wander removal.
  • Its simplicity in implementation makes it suitable for resource-constrained environments.
  • The filter effectively balances drift suppression with signal integrity, preserving important ECG waveform features.
