In this paper, a mini-Electrocardiograph(ECG) system operated by a general 9V alkaline battery is designed and implemented. The manufactured ECG consists of the instrumentation amplifier stage for detecting and amplifying the heart signal, the high pass filter(HPF), the low pass filter(LPF), the differentiator cirduit, and the peak detector. The detected heart signal through three leads is displayed cleanly on the oscilloscope, which shows the good operation of our ECG. As the detected heart signal is digitalized and displayed on the small LCD unit, the convenience of easy checkup and portability of the implemented ECG can be largely improved. Therefore, whenever and wherever anyone may checkup his/her cardiac state with ease.

Heart condition should be observed for long periods of time because it does not appear abnormal all the time. However, there are many difficulties checking our health for a long time due to its size, operation of equipment, and cost. To solve these problems, an electrocardiograms(ECG), specially interfacing three gel-less metal electrodes for low cost portable applications, is designed and implemented. Gel-less metal electrodes are used for ECG monitoring system instead of gel-type electrodes that can cause skin rashes and itching problem. The whole ECG system consists of two parts-analog and digital circuits. The analog measurement circuit that has a 18*25mm size is made up of op-amps maintaining a sufficiently high common-mode noise rejection and passive elements of SMD type. Analog heart signal is converted to digital stream suitable for display on a TFT-LCD by an 8-bit microcontroller. The size of the completed ECG system is 25*80*50mm and its weighing is about 150g, which is small enough to be easily used. Therefore, the implemented ECG system can be used as a portable one.

Since a Holter monitor records a patients' ECG when he is in motion, it can monitor complex heart disease effectively. But it can not handle a sudden heart disease because the diagnosis process will be done only after 24 hours. So in this study, a model of ambulatory monitoring system using wireless data communication network is proposed. And a mobile ECG equipment and a doctors' terminal are developed for the proposed system implementation. As a result, we can evaluate that the proposed ambulatory monitoring system is suitable for the management of ambulatory patients who may be at risk form sudden cardiac abnormalities.

Digital electrocardiogram (ECG) recorders are rapidly replacing to conventional paper ECG recorders. Digital ECG recorders have several advantages over conventional type ECG recorders, including better capability for data storage, better portability and better applicability in clinical settings. In this study, we presented 4 case studies related to cardiac rhythm disturbances, which were diagnosed and managed using a digital ECG recorder.

본 논문은 반복 수축 변환의 프랙탈(fractal) 이론에 근거한 심전도 데이터 압축에 관한 연구이다. 심전도 데이터에 반복 함수계(Iterated Function System : IFS) 모델을 적용하여 신호 자체의 자기 유사성(self-similarity)을 반복 수축 변환으로 표현하고, 그 매개변수만을 저장한다. 재구성시는 변환 매개변수를 반복 적용하여 원래의 신호에 근사되어지는 값을 얻게 된다. 심전도 데이타는 부분적으로 자기 유사성을 갖는다고 보고, 부분 자기-유사 프랙탈 모델(piecewise self-affine fractal model)로 표현될 수 있다. 이 모델은 신호를 특정 구간들로 나누어 각 구간들에 대해 최적 프랙탈 보간(fractal interpolation)을 구하고 그 중 오차가 가장 작은 매개변수만을 추출하여 저장한다. 이 방법을 심전도 데이타에 적용한 결과 특정 압축율에 대해 아주 적은 재생오차 (percent root-mean-square difference : PRD)를 얻을 수 있었다.

현대인의 질병 중 심혈관계 질환의 증가로 인한 건강관리의 중요성이 더해감에 따라 소형 심전계의 필요성이 대두되어지며 운동과 같은 동잡음에 취약한 환경에서도 안정적인 신호를 얻기 위한 연구가 진행되어지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 측정 리드의 거리 최소화에 따른 연구로서 여러 개의 소형 심전도 모듈을 부착하였을 때의 각각의 신호가 임상심전도와 얼마나 유사하게 측정되어질 수 있는지에 대해 연구하였으며 심전도(ECG) 신호의 측정 원리를 위하여 심장 전기쌍극자 모델에 기반하여 전극간 거리를 최소화한 패치형 전극 측정 시스템을 개발하고, 2개 이상의 다중 패치전극 측정 시스템으로부터 측정된 심장전기활동 신호를 합성하여 임상적 심전도와 유사성이 높은 전극신호 유도법을 개발하였다. 또한 이 유도법의 검증을 위하여 임상 심전도 측정장치의 결과와 상관성을 분석하였으며 최대 r 값은 0.859로 얻어졌다.

The heifer electrocardiograph is a widely progressing research which is used in judgement to existence for a heart disease and analyzes electric potential changes of heart movement during continuous living of everyday after attaching to body portable holler recorder for twenty-four hours. In order to obtain electrocardiogram clearly, it must eliminate that 60Hz power line interference, baseline wandering, noise of muscle constriction. In holter electrocardiogram, the most big problem which is recorded signal of ECG(electrocardiogram) is a baseline wandering elimination, which is occurred by rhythm of respiration and muscle constriction of part from attaching to an electrode. Such baseline is roughly irregular wandering and shaking up and down therefore the part of baseline wandering elimination is very important because it is difficult of ECG diagnosis. In this study, it is stabilized baseline wandering in analog part as implementation f real-time signal processing digital filter so it is applicable to analyze patient's heart disease by way of design of baseline wandering elimination system.

The Holter monitoring system is a widely used noninvasive diagnostic tool for ambulatory patient who may be at risk from latent life-threatening cardiac abnormalities. In this paper, we design a high performance intelligent holter monitoring system which is characterized by the small-sized and the low-power consumption. The system hardware consists of one-chip microcontroller(68HC11E9), ECG preprocessing circuit, and flash memory card. ECG preprocessing circuit is made of ECG preamplifier with gain of 250, 500 and 1000, the bandpass filter with bandwidth of 0.05-100Hz, the auto-balancing circuit and the saturation-calibrating circuit to eliminate baseline wandering, ECG signal sampled at 240 samples/sec is converted to the digital signal. We use a linear recursive filter and preprocessing algorithm to detect the ECG parameters which are QRS complex, and Q-R-T points, ST-level, HR, QT interval. The long-term acquired ECG signals and diagnostic parameters are compressed by the MFan(Modified Fan) and the delta modulation method. To easily interface with the PC based analyzer program which is operated in DOS and Windows, the compressed data, that are compatible to FFS(flash file system) format, are stored at the flash memory card with SBF(symmetric block format).
