Design a Simple Model of Electrocardiograph

B. Z. Shakhreet

The electrocardiograph is an electronic instrument used to produce a written record of the electrical activity of the heart. The electrical waveform produced by the heart is called an electrocardiogram or ECG (sometimes EKG after the German spelling). The various features of the ECG can be related to the pumping activity of the heart and is thus used in the diagnosis of the heart disease. The electrocardiograph system described in this module is a simplified one, but it will perform the same basic functions as a more sophisticated commercial instrument. It has been designed to demonstrate the underlying principles of electrocardiograph operation in terms of the functions of individual stages and their interrelationships in the system. Although the simplified version may not include special features found on more complex commercial instruments, an understanding of the operating principles of this model should help you in properly using commercial instruments and in understanding its operation and maintenance manual
