obtaining heart rate from ECG signal
Hello,
I need to obtain heart rate values from an ECG signal. While searching for information, I discovered that I need to (more or less) get the RR interval and then use the time difference between samples to calculate the instantaneous HR.
I have a database acquired in the local hospital, but the raw signal is full of noise and invalid samples but I dont know how to remove both.
Attached you can find of the raw ECG. It is sampled at 1kHz, stored in int16 data type and the measured units are milivolts.
fl = fopen("ficheroAnalogico.dat");
A = fread(fl, inf, ‘int16’);
fclose(fl);
figure(1)
subplot(3,1,1);
plot(A);
title(‘raw’);
subplot(3,1,2);
plot(A_4000);
title(‘zoom’);
I use this short code to read the data and plot it, but, as you can see in the capute, the data is full of noise and invalid samples.
The second plot show the first 4000 samples, where you can see the R peaks, but I need to filter and remove invalid samples before calculating HR. Can you please help me? I know I’m asking for too much, but I haven’t programmed in more than 10 years, so my knowlegde is rusted and I’m really stucked.
Thanks you in advance and sorry for my english.
