[Design of portable 12-lead digital ECG with low power consumption]
Abstract:
The design of portable and low power consumption 12-lead ECG is based on the digital signal processor TMS320C5515 and the analog front end ADS1298. The ADS1298 collects the ECG signals and deliver them to TMS320C5515. The preprocessed ECG signals are displayed real-time on a LCD and can be stored without compression for a long time. The ECG signals can also be sent to an up computer by a USB connector so that ECG data can be analyzed offline. The system has small volume, high precision and low power consumption.

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.
