The problem of suppressing the low-frequency component of the electrocardiogram signal during computerized electrocardiographic measurements is examined. The efficiency and possible realization of the main methods for eliminating low-frequency noise are compared and their applicability to different electrocardiographic measurements is examined. The results are confirmed by experimental studies of simulated and real electrocardiogram samples.
