Does a novel wavelet-based algorithm improve QRS detection accuracy in ECG records?
A novel wavelet-based algorithm demonstrates high accuracy for QRS complex detection in ECGs, potentially improving automated ECG analysis systems.
Lin et al. (2019) studied Arrhythmia (ECG analysis). Four-level biorthogonal spline wavelet transform algorithm vs. Other wavelet-based and non-wavelet-based approaches was evaluated on QRS detection accuracy (detection error rate, sensitivity, positive prediction value). An improved QRS complex detection algorithm based on a four-level biorthogonal spline wavelet transform achieved a 0.25% detection error rate, 99.84% sensitivity, and 99.92% positive prediction value.
