Plug-in circuit board for the Raspberry-Pi microcomputer to reproduce multi-channel original electrocardiograms

Abstract

Commercial simulators can only reproduce electrocardiograms (ECG) of the normal and diseased heart rhythm in a simplified waveform and with a low number of channels. With the presented project, the variety of digitally archived ECGs, recorded during electrophysiological examinations, should be made usable as original analogue signals for research and teaching purposes by the development of a special printed circuit board for the minicomputer “Raspberry-Pi “.
