A Real-Time QRS Detection Algorithm

TLDR
A real-time algorithm that reliably recognizes QRS complexes based upon digital analyses of slope, amplitude, and width of ECG signals and automatically adjusts thresholds and parameters periodically to adapt to such ECG changes as QRS morphology and heart rate.
Abstract
We have developed a real-time algorithm for detection of the QRS complexes of ECG signals. It reliably recognizes QRS complexes based upon digital analyses of slope, amplitude, and width. A special digital bandpass filter reduces false detections caused by the various types of interference present in ECG signals. This filtering permits use of low thresholds, thereby increasing detection sensitivity. The algorithm automatically adjusts thresholds and parameters periodically to adapt to such ECG changes as QRS morphology and heart rate. For the standard 24 h MIT/BIH arrhythmia database, this algorithm correctly detects 99.3 percent of the QRS complexes.

Remote Sensing of Heart Rate and Patterns of Respiration on a Stationary Subject Using 94-GHz Millimeter-Wave Interferometry

TL;DR: The method was to use the quadrature and in-phase components of the signal, after removing the mean of each, to find the phase, unwrap it, and convert it to a displacement measurement.

PCA and ICA processing methods for removal of artifacts and noise in electrocardiograms: A survey and comparison

TL;DR: The efficacy of the combined PCA-ICA algorithm lies on the fact that the location of the R-peaks is accurately determined, and none of the peaks are ignored or missed, as Quadratic Spline wavelet is also used.

Adaptive estimation of QRS complex wave features of ECG signal by the Hermite model.

TL;DR: An Adaptive Hermite Model Estimation System (AHMES) is presented for on-line beat-to-beat estimation of the features that describe the QRS complex with the Hermite model, and an application is shown, for subsequent classification, of the AHMES in extracting theQRS features of an ECG signal with the bigeminy phenomena.

Comparison of particulate matter dose and acute heart rate variability response in cyclists, pedestrians, bus and train passengers.

TL;DR: The findings here indicate that exercise whilst commuting has an influence on inhaled PM and PM lung deposited dose, and these were significantly associated with acute declines in HRV, especially in pedestrians and cyclists.

Online digital filters for biological signals: some fast designs for a small computer.

TL;DR: The possibilities for extending the class of lowpass recursive digital filters to include high pass, bandpass, and bandstop filters are described, and experience with a PDP 11 computer has shown that these filters may be programmed simply using machine code, and that online operation at sampling rates up to about 8 kHz is possible.
