  • Title: Removal of power line interference in signal-averaged electrocardiography systems.
    Author: Ider YZ, Saki MC, Gcer HA.
    Journal: IEEE Trans Biomed Eng; 1995 Jul; 42(7):731-5. PubMed ID: 7622157.
    Abstract:
    A method for line interference reduction to be used in signal-averaged electrocardiography (SAECG) systems is proposed and its performance is analyzed. This new method is an adaptation of a previously reported technique for removal of line interference from conventional electrocardiograms. It involves the recording of a line reference signal simultaneous with the lead signals, so that a shifted and scaled version of it can be used to subtract line interference from the leads. It is shown that this line interference subtraction method can reduce line interference effectively and without introducing any additional noise into the ECG signal. It is also shown that Late Potential diagnostic decisions are not altered when this filter is applied. It is recommended that this technique be used in SAECG when line interference is unavoidable.
