Optimizing the discrete representation of the electrocardiogram
  • the particular signal sections of a heartbeat show different diagnostic importance and different local bandwidth,
  • this irregularity is correlated with the positions of waves in an electrocardiogram, that are easily detectable by the software of today, 
  • optimizing the discrete representation of the ECG consists in local adaptation of sampling frequency and quantization level performed stepwise or smoothly  [18],[25],[28],[29],[30],[35],[47],[48],[49]
