ABSTRACT:
A pocket-sized, self-contained electrocardiogram monitor with a dot-matrix, liquid-crystal display. The monitor uses dry electrodes and is suitable for direct placement against the patient's chest without the use of paste or gel to insure electrical contact. An A/D converter converts an ECG signal to a digital signal which is then processed by a microprocessor and then displayed on the liquid-crystal display in real time. The microprocessor is programmed to select the maximum and minimum digital values from four consecutive samples from the A/D converter and to supply data representative of the maximum and minimum values to the display at one-fourth the conversion sampling rate.
