Key result
Singular value decomposition (SVD) based methods were introduced for QRS detection and ECG denoising, particularly for short unknown signal segments.
Why the study?
ECG signals are often distorted by intrinsic variability, artefacts, or noise, leading to difficulties in QRS detection that require robust algorithms.
Singular value decomposition offers a mathematical approach to improve QRS detection and denoise ECG signals, particularly in short and highly noisy segments.
QRS detection is a pre-processing step to detect the heartbeat in an electrocardiogram (ECG) for subsequent rhythm classification. However, measured ECG waveforms may differ as a result of intrinsic variability or due to artefacts or noise. If the signals are distorted, then this often leads to difficulties in QRS detection. Of course, a high QRS detection performance is an important part of an ECG analysis algorithm, and furthermore, it must work even for highly noisy signals. Singular value decompositon (SVD) is the factorization of a matrix into the product three matrices. SVD allows us to find important components of data and, thus, can be used for dimension reduction or denoising. We introduce SVD based methods for QRS detection and ECG denoising, especially for short unknown signal segments, and show application results.
