Constructional Features of a Multielectrode Electrocardiology Screening System

The challenges of constructing a noninvasive screening system for electrocardiodiagnostics, focused on visualization of electric potential maps on the surface of the epicardium, is addressed. A functional diagram of a module for recording multiple-lead electrocardiosignals is proposed, the essential component of which is a vest (in several standard sizes) worn by the subject and carrying pre-installed electrodes. Results obtained from experimental verification of the operation of the recording module are presented. The issues of computer processing of electrocardiosignals were addressed and led to the ability to obtain 2D maps of the electric potential on a spherical quasi-epicardium, these 2D maps changing synchronously with changes in the position of the time marker on electrocardiograms familiar to cardiologists.
