Abstract

Today, heart disease has reduced the chance of a human living. One of the main causes of morality is cardiovascular disease (CVD). The determination of the electrical activity of the signal is called an electrocardiogram. Different noises are present in the signal as it is being recorded. So, noise needs to be eliminated before ECG signal analysis. Various noises, including baseline wander, power line interference, and electromyogram, can be found in the ECG signal. In this article, develop a one-stage median filter to eliminate baseline wanders, Savitzky–Golay filtering (SG) and wavelet transform is employed for the elimination of artifacts from the electrocardiogram waveform is presented and the SNR (signal to noise ratio) measurements results have shown been calculated using MIT-BIH database for various records and contrasted these findings with earlier works. These suggested results outperform those found with the state of artworks.
