Proposed Analog Circuitry for Real Time Detection of Premature Ventricular Contractions.

Abstract

The report discusses the proposed design of analog circuitry for the immediate detection of premature ventricular contractions (PVC). It is hypothesized that the proposed network could effectively perform a heart monitoring task and would allow cardiac care nurses to more efficiently perform the patient care function. Heart anatomy and physiology are discussed in order to provide a comprehensive understanding of the PVC phenomenon. Included in this work are descriptions of current cardiac monitoring techniques and digital diagnostic heart analysis programs.
