Abstract The feasibility of using a fast Walsh transform algorithm to implement a real-time microprocessor-based e.c.g. data-compression system was studied. Using the mean square error between the original and reconstructed e.c.g. signals as a measure of the utility of the reconstructed signals, the limit to which an e.c.g. signal could be compressed and still yield an acceptable reconstruction was determined. The possibility of enhancing the quality of the reconstructed signals using linear filtering techniques was also investigated.
