Special Issue: ECG Monitoring System

ECG monitoring leads and special leads

ECG monitoring is common place in the hospital and even pre-hospital setting. The need for different types of lead systems in different settings has been emphasised. Simple three electrode bipolar recording is ubiquitous for monitoring. This can be used to record modified bipolar chest leads as well. Using five leads gives the option of getting a chest lead in addition to bipolar limb leads, en...

Special Issue: Sensors for Environmental Monitoring

This paper surveys the needs associated with environmental monitoring and longterm environmental stewardship. Emerging sensor technologies are reviewed to identify compatible technologies for various environmental monitoring applications. The contaminants that are considered in this report are grouped into the following categories: (1) metals, (2) radioisotopes, (3) volatile organic compounds, ...

Android Based ECG Monitoring System

This document presents the development of a low power and portable ECG monitoring device based on MSP430 microcontroller and an Android Phone. This work is done in order to provide a reliable solution for cardiovascular patients who can help them analyze their ECG easily. There are many implementations of ECG monitoring devices at present but most of them are built using custom integrated ics. ...

Design and Implementation of Ecg Monitoring System

The goal of electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring in hospital settings have expanded from simple heart rate and basic rhythm determination to the diagnosis of complex arrhythmias, myocardial ischemia, and prolonged QT interval. In this paper a simple 3-lead Electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring and heart rate measurement system are designed. The proposed system takes the physical pulse input using...
