Key result
The proposed lossy ECG compression method achieved a compression ratio of 4.5 and a percentage root-mean-square difference of 0.53, with an overall QRS detection sensitivity of 99.78% and positive predictivity of 99.92%.

Does the proposed lossy ECG compression method (Method III) improve compression ratio and maintain high QRS detection accuracy compared to existing methods in ECG databases?
The proposed lossy ECG compression method achieves high compression ratios while maintaining excellent QRS detection accuracy, making it suitable for low-power wearable e-health applications.
Elgendi et al. (2017) studied Cardiovascular diseases (ECG monitoring). Lossy ECG compression method (Method III) vs. Lossless and lossy ECG compression methods (Method I and Method II) was evaluated on Compression ratio, percentage root-mean-square difference, and QRS detection accuracy. The proposed lossy ECG compression method achieved a compression ratio of 4.5 and a percentage root-mean-square difference of 0.53, with an overall QRS detection sensitivity of 99.78% and positive predictivity of 99.92%.
