Application of DSP For ECG Signal

This document discusses the application of digital signal processing (DSP) for electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. It notes that DSP is widely used in biomedical applications to remove noise from signals captured using electrodes. Lynn's filters are introduced as useful digital filters for ECG signals that have desirable properties like linear phase and integer coefficients. The document then provides details on ECG signals, explaining that they can be analyzed in the time and frequency domains and provide useful cardiac information. Fetal ECG monitoring is also discussed, where a DSP algorithm is used to extract the fetal heart rate from the QRS complex in the FECG waveform.

APPLICATION OF

DSP FOR ECG


SIGNAL
- ABHISHEK TIWARI
INTRODUCTION

• Most of the biomedical signals are in audio range and DSP


is widely used in many biomedical applications. The signals
from the body, are captured using electrodes. But the major
problem is addition of noise in such signals. To remove this
noise signals, digital filters are used.
• One of the most useful Digital filters is Lynn’s filters. These
filters present desirable properties of real-time filters like
lineal phase and integer coefficients.
• There are low-pass and high-pass Lynn’s filters versions
ELECTROCARDIOGRAPHIC
SIGNAL
• An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a graphical record of
bioelectrical signal generated by the human body during
cardiac cycle. ECG graphically gives useful information that
relates to the heart functioning by means of a base line and
waves representing the heart voltage changes during a period
of time, usually a short period
• According to (Proakis & Manolakis, 2007) a signal can be
analyzed and processed in two domains, time and frequency.
ECG signal is one of the human body signals which can be
analyzed and worked in these two domains.
ECG USEFULNESS

• Auricular and ventricular hypertrophy.


• Myocardial Infarction (heart attack).
• Arrhythmias.
• Pericarditis.
• Generalized suffering affecting heart and blood pressure.
• Cardiac medicine effects, especially digital and quinidine.
• Electrolytic transformations.
FETAL ECG MONITORING

• Electrical activity of a heart is called as electrocardiogram


(ECG).
• Fetal ECG represents electrical activity of the as baby's
heart. The Fetal ECG (FECG) contains five peaks namely
PQRST.

waveform
FETAL ECG MONITORING

• The Fetal Heart Rate (FHR) is obtained from R-to-R interval of the
waveform shown. ECG is having P-wave, QRS complex wave and T-
wave. instantaneous heart rate is obtained by multiplying time interval
between R-to-R (in milliseconds) by 60,000.
• A suitable DSP algorithm is used successive QRS complex waveform
and from this, R-to-R interval is calculated. It gives value of
corresponding FHR.
• The shape of QRS complex waveform changes from patient to patient
• The obtained ECG signal is compared with a known standard ECG
and then the locations of QRS complex in the obtained ECG can be
determined on the basis of similarity.
