Open Access e-Journal Cardiometry No.16 May 2020

We should mention that Cardiometry is a fine diagnostics tool to assess heart life expectancy. Our experts, using Cardiocode in “red zones” in intensive care units, have confirmed effectiveness of noninvasive measuring of the hemodynamics data on the cardiovascular system performance in critical patients with different severity degrees. The medical staff involved had a possibility not only to monitor the state in each critical patient, but also to predict and control the progression of a disease. We are going to publish some results of this pilot study in our next issues.

Significant data have been obtained using the results

of the ECG signal single- and multi-lead filtering. Basing

on the above data, we can conclude that the Newton

high-frequency and cascade reject filters greatly increase

an accuracy of ECG signal processing. These findings are

supported by evidence data produced by filtering of the

full-scale reference samples of noise-laden ECG signal

recordings, as well as quantitative assessment of indices

characterizing the quality of the ECG signal processing.

Conclusions

Our paper offers two methods for ECG signal processing

developed by us. The first method is based on

the use of the Newton high-frequency filter designed

for increasing the accuracy of the ECG signal parameters

separation at low-frequency noises. The second

method is based on the application of the Newton

cascade wide-band reject filters for improving the

accuracy of the ECG signal parameters separation at

high-frequency electrical noises.

In order to evaluate the efficiency of the developed

filtering methods, recorded have been noise-laden

samples of multi- and single-lead ECG signals. Calculated

are the quantitative results, characterizing the

signal filtering quality when ECG signal processing.

The obtained results of the quantitative indices calculation

confirm an increase in the ECG signal processing

accuracy in comparison with the known solutions.
