Abstract
En 中文
Accurate detection of R-peaks in electrocardiogram (ECG) signals is essential for cardiac analysis and diagnosis. While existing algorithms often rely on complex transformations or machine learning, we revisit the classical philosophy of using simple and interpretable signal features. We propose a method based on two physiologically meaningful signal features: detrended relative height and local slope pattern. These features are integrated into a robust scoring system with adaptive thresholding. Evaluated on the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database, our algorithm uses only a single channel and achieves high sensitivity (99.69%) and specificity (99.82%), performing well within the class of interpretable and transparent methods. The results demonstrate that lightweight, transparent approaches can provide reliable performance and serve as effective baselines for further development.
