Abstract

The ECG(Electrocardiograph) ambulatory test as called Holter is performed usually to diagnose several heart diseases causing different arrhythmias. This paper exposes the insights of the design of a 10-lead ambulatory ECG recorder. Reducing the size and minimizing the power consumption of the ECG recorder are crucial to allow long recording time without causing discomfort to the patient. This paper proposes lower hardware design and differential compression algorithm to extend the maximum 72 hours recording time in consideration of smaller and light-weighted recorder size. The performance results by newly introduced compression algorithm are shown and discussed.
