Abstract
A system and method for detecting pacing pulses generated by a cardiac pacemaker within an ECG signal. The method involves decomposing the ECG signal into high and low-frequency components that represent the energy of the input signal in high and low-frequency bands. The timing of energy pulses detected within the high and low-frequency bands are then used to determine whether the pulses may represent a pacing pulse.
