Abstract: One of the most common signal processing problems with the electrocardiogram(ECG),an important indicator for identifying cardiac abnormalities in humans,is the elimination of unwanted noise.These noises can distort the clean signal,which can affect the diagnosis and analysis of the human heart.This paper reviews five different frameworks of ECG signal denoising techniques and the latest research results within these frameworks,and finally summarizes the best noise reduction models in last five years and compares them by performance evaluation criteria such as signal-to-noise ratio.The comparison shows that the deep learning models show good performance in ECG denoising,whether based on single noise or composite noise.Finally,the problems with the current denoising model are discussed and an outlook on the next step of the research is given.

Key words: Electrocardiogram(ECG), Deep learning, Denoising, Signal-to-noise ratio
