Abstract

The electrocardiogram (ECG) is an essential signal in the medical field, with the help of which doctors manage to identify the electrical functions of the heart. From the interpretation of the ECG signal it is possible to diagnose and measure the presence of abnormal heart rhythms, as well as the presence of indicators for future abnormalities. The captured ECG signal is usually contaminated with noise. Therefore, it is important to eliminate the noise to prevent any error in the subsequent analysis of the signal. This paper presents a study of ECG noise reduction via adaptive filtering using the Wiener filter. Simulation results obtained in Matlab provide a numeric assessment of the approach.
