Key result
Wavelet and wavelet packet-based compression algorithms preserved clinically useful information in ECG signals at 8:1 compression, and in most cases at 16:1 compression.
Why the study?
Does wavelet and wavelet packet compression preserve clinically useful information in Holter ECG data?
Does wavelet and wavelet packet compression preserve clinically useful information in Holter ECG data?

Hypothesis-generating for wavelet ECG compression; larger validation trials needed before clinical adoption.
Michael Hilton (1997) studied Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. Wavelet and wavelet packet-based compression algorithms vs. Original ECG signals was evaluated on Preservation of clinically useful information. Wavelet and wavelet packet-based compression algorithms preserved clinically useful information in ECG signals at 8:1 compression, and in most cases at 16:1 compression.
