    A novel, low-cost system converts electrocardiographic (ECG) signals into a polarcardiogram for enhanced cardiac analysis. This adaptable technology offers an economical and accurate alternative for exercise stress testing.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Cardiovascular Technology
    • Medical Instrumentation

    Background:

    • Standard electrocardiography (ECG) provides valuable cardiac electrical activity data.
    • Advanced signal processing techniques can offer deeper insights into cardiac function.
    • Existing systems for advanced ECG analysis can be costly and complex.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a low-cost system for polarcardiogram generation from Frank orthogonal lead signals.
    • To integrate signal averaging capabilities for electrocardiographic complexes.
    • To enable automated data recording during electrocardiographic exercise stress testing.

    Main Methods:

    • A standard 3-channel ECG recorder was coupled with a low-cost microprocessor.
    • The system performed polar coordinate conversion of Frank orthogonal lead signals.
