| dc.description.abstract | This thesis discusses the feasibility of a microcomputer-based arrhythmia monitor for ambulatory patients. The arrhythmia monitor is designed with a commercially available microcomputer(VIC-20). The system continuously-monitors the ECG and detects arrhythmias. The arrhythmia monitor does not store the normal ECG. It detects and stores only arrhythmias. The monitor is capable of capturing eight different arrhythmias. In order to conserve memory the arrhythmic ECG is compressed before it is stored in ring buffers. Three algorithms have been programmed for ECG data compression. The algorithms are fast and cause clinically insignificant distortion of the ECG. Future work on the monitor is also suggested and discussed. | |
