A Novel Lossless ECG Compression Algorithm for Active Implants
Abstract:
A low complexity lossless ECG compression algorithm for active implants is proposed in this paper. The algorithm is based on adaptive length encoding by combining linear prediction with delta encoding. The algorithm is tested on forty-eight segments of 30-min ECG signals obtained from MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database. The results show that with the data segment length of 33 and the predictor order of 2, the average compression rate of the algorithm reaches 2.43 and there is no difference between the reconstructed signal and the original one. It implies that it can realize the lossless compression with a high compression ratio. Meanwhile, the low complexity makes this novel algorithm suitable for ECG monitoring applications of active implants.

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...
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.
