Abstract
The aim of this paper is to design and implement an advanced Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal monitoring and analysis system design using FPGA. An electrocardiogram, also called an ECG or EKG, is a simple, painless test that records the heart's electrical activity. The main Tasks in ECG signal analysis are the detection of how fast heart is beating, whether the rhythm of your heartbeat is steady or irregular and the strength and timing of electrical signals as they pass through each part of your heart. An algorithm based on wavelet transforms which uses the linear quadrature mirror filter (QMF) B-spline wavelet for the detection of QRS complex is developed and implemented on FPGA. The proposed FPGA based Electrocardiogram system can operate with high performance, Time to Market, Low cost, high reliability, long-term to Maintenance, and maximum throughput of 52.67 MSamples/sec. Thus the system can work on both online and offline at maximum throughput. The system is designed and implemented using Verilog language and Xilinx FPGA respectively.
