Abstract:
Surface Laplacian of the body surface potential (Laplacian ECG--LECG) is a new approach to resolve spatially distributed bioelectrical source. In this paper, we discussed an LECG sensor which integrated triple concentric ring electrodes and signal adjustor on a printed board. The LECG is measured directly by this sensor. The frequency, amplitude and phase of the power line interference were detected by a nonlinear adaptive filter so that interference was eliminated. The wavelet shrinking technique was used to eliminate the rest of random noise. And we got the high quality LECG signal. It laid the foundation for heart disease diagnosis.

Electrocardiogram Fundamentals
An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a diagnostic tool for identifying cardiac conditions such as arrhythmias, conduction abnormalities, and myocardial ischemia.
Definition
An electrocardiogram (ECG) visualizes the heart's electrical activity by tracing the electrical movement associated with each heartbeat on a graph or monitor. As the heart beats, an electrical wave passes through it, correlating with the cardiac cycle events.
