Abstract

The electrocardiogram is known as a primary and powerful diagnostic tool that provides all essential information about the health of our heart. The feature extraction of electrocardiogram, such as R-peak detection, is the central core of any electrocardiogram analysis. Study of electrocardiogram in wavelet domain using continuous wavelet transform with well-known wavelets and other proposed wavelets for this investigation is found to be helpful and yields reasonably reliable results. In order to validate this method, we apply it to several MIT-BIH database records. The continuous wavelet transform with one of the proposed wavelets namely, Mxr-1, achieves 99.97 % sensitivity, 99.89 % positive predictivity, and 0.135
