Wireless ECG

Abstract

As we all know heart is the most important part of a human body it pumps blood 24/7 all around the body to keep the oxygen flowing in our entire body. To carry out this process the heart emits small electric charges to make the heart muscle contract which causes the pumping of blood in the body. The individual may be suspected of serious health issues including cardiac arrest if there is any problem with the process. To predict complication before serious harm the care givers must monitor these charges. To measure these charges a device called ECG Electrocardiograph is used. It consists of electrodes which are placed on desired location of human body to measure the electrical signals. These electrodes are connected to the monitoring system which then measures the voltage difference across the location where the electrodes were placed. Fig 2 shows one of the placement positions of electrodes & Fig 1 shows the waveform of a healthy heart.
