How to filter the noise out from the ECG signal

The original ECG signal looks like this, the sampling frequency is 360Hz.
I try to design a FIR filter to filter the noise out so that i can get a clear view of PQRST complex of the heart beat. I plot this signal in the frequency domain and it looks like this:
So, how should I fiind the frequency where the noise locates?

i suggest you play around using the signal analyzer app.

tomorrow i will have a closer look!

There is obvious 60 Hz line noise. Use a bandstop filter with a very narrow stopband to eliminate it.
Beyond that, it appears to represent normal sinus rhythm with left ventricular hypertophy with non-specific ST-T changes and one notable PVC. If this is a Lead II EKG, the origin of the PVC appears to be near the apex. There are Q-waves, however without a specific voltage calibration, it is difficult to interpret their significance.
