Abstract

Increasing the efficiency of cardiological diagnostics based on the analysis of human heart rate variability necessitates the development of accurate methods for detecting the R-waves of the electrocardiosignal (ECG signal). A technique for detecting R-waves of an ECG signal based on the wavelet multiresolution analysis (WMRA). The proposed technique for detecting R-waves includes sequential stages of digital processing of an ECG signal: WMRA; a set of nonlinear operators; adaptive algorithm for detecting signal peaks. A comparative analysis of the proposed technique with existing approaches to the detection of R-waves of the ECG signal has been carried out. To obtain quantitative characteristics of evaluating the efficiency of detecting R-waves, we used imitation modeling of an ECG signal containing noises and interferences of various intensity and nature of occurrence. The effectiveness of the considered approaches to the detection of R-waves of the ECG signal was investigated for clinical recordings of ECG signal. The absolute error of measuring the RR-interval durations for model signals with different noise levels is estimated. It is shown that the proposed method for detecting R-waves of an ECG signal based on WMRA is characterized by small errors in measuring the duration of RR-intervals, high rates of true detection and small errors of false detection and omission.
