Abstract The accurate detection of QRS complexes is important for ECG signal analysis. This paper presents
an improved version of a QRS detector based on an adaptive quantized threshold. The algorithm
achieves high detection rates by using automatic thresholds instead of predetermined static
thresholds. We improved the number of detected QRS in non-stationary random arrhythmic ECG signals
by applying a secondary threshold. The performance of the algorithm was tested on 19 records of the
MIT/BIH Arrhythmia Database resulting in 97.5% sensitivity and 99.9% positive predictivity.
