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.

Effect of Multiscale PCA De-noising in ECG Beat Classification for Diagnosis of Cardiovascular Diseases

TL;DR: The experimental results show that the proposed method is able to reduce noise from the noisy ECG signals more accurately in comparison to previous methods, and the numerical results indicated the proposed algorithm achieved 99.93 % of the classification accuracy using MSPCA de-noising and AR modeling.

Multimodal heart beat detection using signal quality indices

TL;DR: Fusion of R peaks from other signals has the potential to provide informed estimates of the R peak location in situations where the ECG is noisy or completely absent, and is likely to reduce false alarms due to inaccurate derived parameters.

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.
