Abstract

Electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG) is an important electrical activity of the human Heart. ECG is used for the primary diagnosis of heart diseases since it shows the electrophysiology of the heart and the ischemic changes that may occur like the myocardial infarction, conduction defects, and arrhythmia. But, in real condition, ECG is often corrupted by different artifacts and noises. For the purpose of quality diagnosis, the ECG signal must be clearly de-noised to remove all noises and artifacts from the signal. In this paper, we present the Wavelet Transform, a new approach in digital signal processing to filter the ECG signal. Different ECG signals from MIT/BIH arrhythmia database are used with added 10dB, 5dB & 0dB Power Line Interference (PLI) noise which is common in ECG signal. The results were evaluated using MATLAB software. Basically, two synthesis parameters Mean Square Error (MSE) and Signal to Noise ratio (SNR) have been used. The prime aim of this paper is to adapt the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) to improve the (ECG) signal quality for better clinical diagnosis. The evaluated results have been compared with Butterworth IIR filter. The proposed method shows improvement in output SNRo for 5dB noise is 98.5% and for 10dB noise is 95.7%.
