The respiratory signal can be accurately evaluated by single-channel electrocardiogram (ECG) processing, as shown in recent literature. Indirect methods to derive the respiratory signal from ECG can benefit from a simultaneous study of both respiratory and cardiac activities. These methods lead to m...
