Abstract Background: Electrocardiogram recordings areveryoftencontaminated byhigh-frequency noise usually power-line interference and EMG disturbances (tremor). Specific method for interference cancellation without affecting the proper ECG components, called subtraction procedure, was developed sometwodecades ago.Filtering outthetremor remains aprioripartially successful since it has arelatively wide spectrum, which overlaps the useful ECG frequency band. Method: The proposed method for tremor suppression implements the following three procedures. Contaminated ECG signals are subjected tomoving averaging (comb filter with linear phase characteristic) with first zero set at 50 Hz to suppress tremor and PL interference simultaneously. The reduced peaks of QRS complexes and other relatively high and steep ECG wavesarethenrestored byanintroduced byusprocedure calledlinearly-angular, sothattheuseful high frequency components are preserved in the range specified by the embedded in the ECG instrument filter, usually up to 12
