[The design and application of ML-2 ECG lead converter/selector]
1Research Center of Cardioelectricity, The First Military Medical University, Guangzhou 510515, China.
Aim:
Because no ECG lead cable and lead selector is equipped, SYD-4228 Physiology Experiment System can not be used to record and observe ECG. This paper introduces an ECG lead converter/selector designed and implemented by us.
Methods:
With resistor network and lead input cable, an ECG lead converter/selector was produced.
Results:
As an independent and assistant part of SYD-4228 system, this ECG lead converter/selector can be used to record ECG waveform in animal experiment.
Conclusion:
Capable of matching both SYD-4228 system and other ECG recording systems, this ECG lead converter/selector can record ECG waveforms with different lead systems simultaneously. Real-time observation and comparison of waveforms recorded by different lead systems can be available.

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.
