title: [An algorithm for ECG data compression and its real-time realization with single chip computer].
abstract: ECG data compression has been greatly improved since 1960 s. Although the error of compression can be controlled accurately, the reported algorithm at present can not be processed in real-time with a microcomputer. In this paper an algorithm for ECG data compression is expounded which can be realized in real-time with a single chip computer. The algorithm has not only adjustable precision but also an average compression rate of 10.34, especially a pretty high compression ratio for frequent arrhythmic patients.
