PORTABLE, REAL-TIME, 12-LEAD ECG MONITORING SYSTEM

摘要

This article introduces a wireless 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) recording system to monitor high-risk cardiovascular diseases. The design overcomes the limitation of wireless transmission by analog multiplexing. The proposed technique provides three leads of ECG at a time and requires less than 15 sec to display the total 12 leads ECG signals on a remote computer. This increases the chances to discover certain acute symptoms earlier. In addition, the synchronous display of three-lead ECG allows the clinician to survey the ECG from the same plane of the heart. The system is designed with low power consumption and is capable of long-term monitoring.
