Abstract :
Electrocardiograms (ECG) display important information about the cardiac activity of the human heart. An early diagnosis can be significantly improved through long-term remote monitoring of the patient. This involves large quantities of data to be transmitted to a physician for interpretation. Therefore, reliable compression algorithms have to be developed. The performance of a compression method based on the Discrete Wavelet Transform has been tested using the Daubechies family of mother wavelets as a main parameter. Simulations have been performed on a significant number of ECG signals, the results being displayed for performance evaluation.
