Stability and Phase Response Analysis of Optimum Reduced-Order IIR Filter Designs for ECG R-Peak Detection

Abstract

Cardiovascular health and training success can be assessed using electrocardiogram (ECG) data. For over a quarter of a century, an individual's resting heart rate is varying more. As a result, it has become the subject of inquiry and reveals the intricate relationship between the human body and its environment. The autonomic nervous system has impact on blood flow system based on the rate of heartbeats. However, heart rate variation (HRV) characteristics analysis throughout the time period has lack of physical activity information. In the presence of patient movement, ECG signal is suffering from hard artefacts. Time-varying HRV parameters can be derived from low-frequency (LF) and high-frequency (HF) domains of the correct frequency. However, sometimes it is critical to ensuring accurate detection of the R-peak position. The proposed ROIIR (reduced-order IIR) offers 8.8% improvement in peak-to-peak swing than earlier IIR filter. We present an advanced filtering algorithm that is used for R-peak detection.
