DCAECSCS: Divide and Conquer Algorithm Based Electro Cardiac Signal Compression Scheme

Abstract

The method of recording heart electrical activity over a period of time using electrodes implanted in the skin is referred to as electrocardiography (ECG). In constant patient monitoring, vast volumes of ECG data need to be treated. Therefore, when each time we need to track the patient’s heart condition, we have to store more details. It is very costly, however, to store, transfer and allocate bandwidth to this Meta data. Here, an effective compression technique has been applied to solve this problem in such a way that all the salient features that have been clinically needed can be preserved. We used the MIT-BIH ECG data database to validate the ECG.
