Suggested is an algorithm for ECG signal preprocessing for reliable detection and distinguishing of atypical beats in electrocardiograms (ECG). Derived is an optimal linear transformation from primary lead signals, which maximizes certain criterion for distinction of an atypical beat from the typical ones. This optimal transformation is assumed as a new ECG lead, where the atypical beat is enhanced and can be distinguished easily from the typical ones. The method is verified experimentally with 4-channel ECG data base of 46 records.
