Özet:
Heart disease is a major cause of death; therefore patients with heart problems, i.e. those who had myocardial infarction are kept under medical observation. Most commonly used method for such observations is the Holter method, which is a 24 hour continuous recording of the electrocardiogram. These recordings are later analyzed by cardiologists or computers , and the results obtained guide therapy applied to the patient. In this thesis a micro-processor based system which analyses electrocardiogram continuously, and records only the cardiac arrhythmias detected. This system supplies immediate information to the cardiologist, as well as being less expensive than other methods.
