Abstract

A method for assessing electrocardiogram signal quality, the method comprising: receiving heart beat analysis data by processing electrocardiogram data acquired from an electrocardiogram monitoring device; extracting position information and width information of a QRS complex in the heart beat analysis data; extracting an RR interval signal between two adjacent QRS complex signals; performing QRS complex signal cancellation processing on the RR interval signal to obtain an RR interval signal for which the QRS complex signal is removed; filtering the processed RR interval signal without the QRS complex signal, and performing envelope calculation on the filtered signal to obtain the average power of a noise signal of the RR interval signal for which the QRS complex signal is removed; obtaining a signal quality evaluation index according to the average power of the noise signal and the power of the QRS complex signal.
