Abstract

Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal is the electrical recording of coronary heart activity. It is a common routine and vital cardiac diagnostic tool in which in electric signals are measured and recorded to recognize the practical status of heart, but ECG signal can be distorted with noise as numerous artifacts corrupt the unique ECG signal and decrease it quality. Consequently, there may be a need to eliminate such artifacts from the authentic signal and enhance its quality for better interpretation. ECG signals are very low-frequency signals of approximately 0.5–100 Hz, and digital filters are used as efficient approach for noise removal of such low-frequency signals. Noise may be any interference because of movement artifacts or due to power device that are present, wherein ECG has been taken. Consequently, ECG signal processing has emerged as a common and effective tool for research and clinical practices. This paper gives the comparative evaluation of FIR and IIR filters and their performances from the ECG signal for proper understanding and display of the ECG signal.
