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.

Sympathetic activity–associated periodic repolarization dynamics predict mortality following myocardial infarction

TL;DR: Increased PRD can be used as a predictor of mortality in survivors of acute MI and patients undergoing exercise testing and the predictive value of PRD was strong and complementary to that of TWA.

Separation and Analysis of Fetal-ECG Signals From Compressed Sensed Abdominal ECG Recordings

TL;DR: The experiments confirm that the proposed framework may be used for compression of abdominal f-ECG and to obtain real-time information of the fHR, providing a suitable solution for real time, very low-power f- ECG monitoring.

Comparative Effectiveness of ICA and PCA in Extraction of Fetal ECG From Abdominal Signals: Toward Non-invasive Fetal Monitoring.

TL;DR: The results demonstrated that even though these advanced signal processing methods are suitable for the non-invasive estimation and monitoring of the fHR information from maternal aECG signals, their utility for further morphological analysis of the extracted fECGs signals remains questionable and warrants further work.

Physiological compliance for social gaming analysis: Cooperative versus competitive play

TL;DR: It is confirmed that physiological compliance is higher in a conflicting situation than when playing cooperatively and it is proposed that compliance measures can be considered as objective indices of social presence in digital gaming.

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.
