Arrhythmia Detection

1269 Words6 Pages

Abstract
Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal has been widely used for heart diagnosis. This paper presents a VLSI based design of high speed and area efficient distributive arithmetic discrete wavelet transform (DA-DWT) for Arrhythmia Detection and its FPGA implementation. The main focus of the work is to filter and detect the QRS complex in the ECG signal and to identify the time and frequency variations. By comparing these variations with that of the variations in the normal ECG waveform one may reach to a conclusion if the patient is suffering from Arrhythmia or not. The DA-DWT is also used to filter the ECG signal so as to detect the ECG signal for Arrhythmia Detection.

1. INTRODUCTION
Major causes of threat to life are the diseases associated with heart. Arrhythmia is one such heart disorder which is an irregularity in heart beat. In cases of Arrhythmia the heart may beat either too fast or slow. Heart Arrhythmias occur when the electrical impulses in heart that coordinates your heartbeats don't work properly, causing your heart to beat too fast, too slow or …show more content…

The ECG signal that is non stationary has P, QRS complex and T waves. The duration of each of the waves signifies the electrical activity of the heart. P wave indicates the atrial contraction or depolarization. PR interval indicates the time duration for the travel of the depolarization wave from the atria to the ventricles. QRS complex indicates ventricular depolarization.ST segment shows the time between ventricular depolarization and the starting of repolarisation. And the T wave shows the ventricular repolarisation. For detecting the heart rate QRS complex detection is necessary. Among all the waves in the signal the QRS complex has higher

    Annexe 1 : Heart murmur 1. An unusual sound coming from the heart that can be detected by a stethoscope. These noises are caused by an abnormal turbulence produced when blood flows across one of the heart (valves, cardiac chambers) and or vessels close to the heart Heart murmurs are classified by the intensity of the sound heard: Stage I (murmur is of low intensity and can hardly be heard) to Stage VI (murmur is extremely loud).

    A person may be tired with doing daily activities such as shopping, climbing stairs, or simply just walking. This happens because the heart cannot pump enough blood to supply the tissues. One of the biggest symptoms is an increased heart rate. This may feel like the heart is throbbing, or racing. This happens because the heart is trying to catch up to the pumping capacity, causing the heart to beat so much faster.

The paramedics secured two large-bore intravenous (IV) catheters in his right and left antecubital spaces and infused Lactated Ringer’s (LR) solution wide open in both sites. An endotracheal tube was inserted, and ventilation with a resuscitation bag with 100% oxygen was begun. Pressure dressings to both wounds were secured.

    1. Atrial Fibrillation – It is an aggravation of the heart 's electrical framework. The issue begins in the upper chambers of the heart, which is the atria and causes these chambers to fibrillate, instead of beating normally. This means that the heart does not pump blood around the body as effectively as it should (Heart Foundation).

    The World Health Organisation reports that cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of mortality worldwide. Therefore the importance of effectively diagnosing and treating cardiac conditions has become paramount. The cardiovascular system, its complexities and the various pathologies that affect it are of great interest to me. Undertaking a BSc Clinical Physiology degree specialising in Cardiology has allowed me to understand the vital role a cardiac physiologist plays in the multi-disciplinary team in diagnosing cardiac conditions in patients, forming the basis for effective treatment and thus, improved quality of live and survival rate. My ambition to attain my Master’s degree at Middlesex University is due to the university’s reputation

    This type of shock occurs when the heart is unable to pump blood effectively. This is evident to patients who have had myocardial infarction, such as John’s case. In this illness, the heart has decreased contractility resulting to decreased cardiac output. Such decrease will stimulate the sympathetic nervous system to activate the compensatory mechanism by increasing the heart rate as evident in John’s vital sign to increase the peripheral pressure and ventricular

    Our hearts serves as biological pumps responsible for pumping blood through blood vessels to body tissues. The hearts pumps blood by undergoing cycles of contraction (systole) and relaxation (diastole) in what is referred to as cardiac cycles. Each cardiac cycle, therefore, represents one heart bit. The number of heart bits per minute is referred to as the heart rate. The pumping mechanism of the heart is dependent on the pressure differences created in the chambers of the heart following the contraction and relaxation of heart muscles.

    Electrical signals begin at the SA node, bringing about atria contraction, and after that proceed onward to AV node, postponing electrical impulses to permit blood from the atrium to fill the ventricles. Signals move from the AV node to the heap of His and after that to the Prukinje fibers, which then permit the ventricles to contract. A heartbeat includes a contraction stage systole and an unwinding stage diastole. These contractions of the heart are animated by electrical impulses which begin from the nodes that are available in the heart; sino-atrial (SA node) and the atrioventricular (AV node). These nodes are bunches of nerve of

    Heart disease is simply your heart not working like it should be. This is a result of the arteries in the body, building up plaque because the arteries are damaged. Plaque are little cholesterol deposits that accumulate in your arteries over time (cdc.gov). The buildup of plaque makes the arteries become narrow and harden, which then makes the heart work harder to get the blood throughout the body. Anyone can get heart disease with being overweight, an unhealthy diet, not enough exercise, smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol.
