Pilot data from a blind evaluation of compressed ECG's by cardiologists suggest that the clinically useful information present in original ECG signals is preserved by 8:1 compression, and in most cases 16:1 compressed ECGs are clinically useful.
Abstract
Wavelets and wavelet packets have recently emerged as powerful tools for signal compression. Wavelet and wavelet packet-based compression algorithms based on embedded zerotree wavelet (EZW) coding are developed for electrocardiogram (ECG) signals, and eight different wavelets are evaluated for their ability to compress Holter ECG data. Pilot data from a blind evaluation of compressed ECG's by cardiologists suggest that the clinically useful information present in original ECG signals is preserved by 8:1 compression, and in most cases 16:1 compressed ECG's are clinically useful.

Diagnosis of Cardiac Deceases by Using ECG Signal Compression for Effective Communication

B. R. Yadwade
TL;DR: It was concluded that the vertexes selected by the proposed ECG signal compression method preserved all feature points of the ECG signals and was more efficient than the amplitude zone time epoch coding method.

A Cross-Layer Coding for Scalable ECG streaming

TL;DR: This paper proposes a linear ECG coding method whereby proneness to mis-reception due to channel errors, contention, and/or interference is traded for a soft, proportional degradation in signal definition, so the likelihood of ECG streaming interruption in BANs is vastly lessened while also enhancing capacity and relieving wireless medium contention.

Customizing a discrete wavelet transform filter bank using the lifting scheme for improved compression ratios of an ECG

TL;DR: In this article, a lifting scheme is used to adaptively change a biorthogonal filter bank, which implements a discrete wavelet transform (DWT), for improved compression of an ECG waveform.

A theory for multiresolution signal decomposition: the wavelet representation

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that the difference of information between the approximation of a signal at the resolutions 2/sup j+1/ and 2 /sup j/ (where j is an integer) can be extracted by decomposing this signal on a wavelet orthonormal basis of L/sup 2/(R/sup n/), the vector space of measurable, square-integrable n-dimensional functions.

Ten Lectures on Wavelets

TL;DR: In this article, the regularity of compactly supported wavelets and symmetry of wavelet bases are discussed. But the authors focus on the orthonormal bases of wavelets, rather than the continuous wavelet transform.

TL;DR: The image coding results, calculated from actual file sizes and images reconstructed by the decoding algorithm, are either comparable to or surpass previous results obtained through much more sophisticated and computationally complex methods.
