This paper is devoted to the transform-based method for decorrelation of simultaneously recorded ECG channels. The conventional 12-lead ECG recordings, due to the non-optimal lead positioning, contain highly redundant data. Eliminating this redundancy yields new possibilities for lossless coding of the ECG, meeting the most severe expectations about the quality of stored signal. The statistical properties featured by uncorrelated signals in the transform domain are more appropriate for the data distribution-based coding techniques. In our work four linear transforms are studied and numerically verified with use of the real ECG data. Additionally, the combination of spatial and temporal decorreation is proposed and discussed as the practical and lossless method for a real implementation. The compression efficiency significantly exceeds the values obtained with use of general-purpose lossless algorithms.
