How do you remove baseline wander from ECG?

Baseline wander is a low-frequency noise of around 0.5 to 0.6 Hz. To remove it, a high-pass filter of cut-off frequency 0.5 to 0.6 Hz can be used. Powerline interference (50 or 60 Hz noise from mains supply) can be removed by using a notch filter of 50 or 60 Hz cut-off frequency.

What is baseline wander on ECG?

Baseline wander is a low frequency artifact in the ECG that arises from breathing, electrically charged electrodes, or subject movement and can hinder the detection of these ST changes because of the varying electrical isoline (Figure 1(a)).

How does wandering baseline become corrected?

Baseline drift is low frequency noise between 0.5 Hz and 0.6 Hz. To remove it, you can use a highpass filter with a cutoff frequency of 0.5 Hz to 0.6 Hz. Interference from the mains (50 Hz or 60 Hz noise from mains supply) can be removed using a notch filter with a cut off frequency 50 Hz or 60 Hz.
