Abstract :
A new approach for real-time ECG data compression is presented. This technique is a hybrid of well known techniques called SAPA-2 and Adaptive compression algorithm. A special decompression algorithm and smooth-curve approximation are used to reconstruct the compressed data into original form. In order to compare this new approach on the same bases with other well known techniques which are widely used in practice, all the techniques are applied to the same single lead ECG signal
