Key result
The R-peak detectors developed by Behar and Clifford achieved accuracies of 98% and 97%, respectively, enabling robust signal quality indexing of ECG datasets.
Why the study?
ECG quality is inconsistent due to motion artifact noise, and accurate signal quality indexing depends on R-peak detection, yet most detectors are prone to noise.
Population
ECG signals from MIT-BIH arrhythmia, Fantasia, CapnoBase, and MIMIC-II datasets
Comparison
Assessment and comparison of five peak detectors from different resources

May aid noisy ECG interpretation; leaves open prospective clinical validation before practice adoption.
The R-peak detectors by Clifford and Behar provide high accuracy (98% and 97%) for ECG signal quality indexing, enabling more accurate extraction of vital signs from noisy signals.
Nayan et al. (2019) studied ECG signal quality (n=1,025). Behar and Clifford R-peak detectors vs. Other peak detectors (Zhang, Pan & Tompkins, MATLAB findpeak) was evaluated on Accuracy of R-peak detection on MIT-BIH arrhythmia database. The R-peak detectors developed by Behar and Clifford achieved accuracies of 98% and 97%, respectively, enabling robust signal quality indexing of ECG datasets.
