ECG
Solution
AnElectrocardiogramor ECG machine is a device used to monitor and record the electrical activity of
the heart. Since each heart beat produces an electrical impulse in the heart, the generated cardiac
electrical potentials can be measured with sensors placed on the body at dierent locations. Abnormal
electrical activity can indicate conditions such as heart attack, chest trauma, reduced blood ow to the
heart, arrhythmia or heart deformities.
The demand for portable and accurate ECG monitoring has grown substantially. Despite the smaller
size of these portable products, ECG devices still require precision ltering, high-performance
processing power, and integrated high-resolution graphics control that is separate from the main
microcontroller core.
