Key result
Improved tracking-differentiator filters effectively remove ECG power line interference, with ITDF2 outperforming ITDF1.
Why the study?
Power line interference at 50 or 60 Hz in ECG data affects detection of P wave, QRS complex, and T wave, necessitating effective denoising methods.

May support ECG denoising research; simulation data leaves open clinical validation before practice change.
Improved tracking-differentiator filters, particularly ITDF2, are effective at removing power line interference from ECG signals.
Feng et al. (2018) studied ECG data with power line interferences. Improved tracking-differentiator filters (ITDF1 and ITDF2) vs. ITDF1 vs ITDF2 was evaluated on Filtering noises (power line interferences). Improved tracking-differentiator filters effectively removed power line interferences from ECG signals, with ITDF2 performing better than ITDF1.
