Abstract:
The R-wave of ECG signal represents the electrical activation of the ventricles, which initiates ventricle contraction, and the typical peak value singular signal, so the R-wave of ECG signal is localized precisely and analyzed accurately using the wavelet transform. The principium of the precise detection method for R-wave in ECG signal is researched. The special properties of Mexican hat wavelet in time-domain are analyzed, too. This wavelet has every order continuity, symmetry, exponential attenuation and one vanishing moment. For this reason, the mexican hat wavelet basis has the excellent localization and analyzing precision. Using the MIT/BIH (Massachusetts Institute of Technology / Boston's Beth Israel Hospital) Arrhythmia Database and the applications in clinic, the precise detection method can detect accurately and localize precisely to the R-wave in ECG signal in the serious noise signal. This method has the quite high locating precision (its error is not more than one sampling point and the points of the R-wave in ECG signal about 80 percent are localized precisely) and analyzing accuracy (no accumulative error). The real-time of the method is excellent, and the real-time detection to the R-wave of ECG signal can achieve using this method.
