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.
