Abstract :
A digital filter structure is proposed to maximally remove noise from the ECG signals. This structure is based on cascading a zero-phase bandpass, an adaptive filter, and multi-band-pass filter. It provides an efficient method for removing noise from the ECG signals. This filter structure has low implementation complexity and introduces little noise into a typical ECG. It can be applied to real-time applications particularly automatic cardiac arrhythmia classifiers
