    This study presents an automated ECG/VCG signal pre-processing method. Noise reduction algorithms improve feature extraction for accurate cardiac measurements, crucial for modern monitoring systems.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Signal Processing
    • Cardiology

    Background:

    • Electrocardiogram (ECG) and Vectorcardiogram (VCG) signals are vital for cardiac diagnostics.
    • Noise, including low-frequency baseline drift and high-frequency interference, can compromise signal integrity.
    • Advancements in long-term monitoring and digital electrocardiography necessitate robust signal pre-processing.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To implement an automatic pre-processing procedure for ECG/VCG signals.
    • To evaluate algorithms for reducing low-frequency and high-frequency noise.
    • To enhance the accuracy of feature extraction for improved cardiac waveform analysis.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of an automatic pre-processing procedure on a HP2100 computer.
