Most countries face high and increasing rates of cardiovascular disease. Each year, heart disease kills more Americans than cancer. Therefore, there has been a promising market for portable ECG equipment and it is increasing. To use portable ECG measuring devices, it is essential to define a suitable location for the measuring as we need to reduced electrode size and distance. This research proposes to study how the inter-electrode distance affects the signal and how the electrode pair should be placed on the chest in order to obtain a sufficiently reliable ECG signal to detect heart arrhythmias in any environment, such as home or work. Therefore, we developed a compact, portable patch type ambulatory ECG monitoring system, Heart Tracker, using a microprocessor for preliminary study of signal analysis. To optimize the electrode arrangement in wireless environment, we compared HT and standard 12 lead with changing electrode position.
大多数国家面临着心血管疾病发病率居高不下且不断上升的问题。每年，心脏病导致美国人死亡的人数超过癌症。因此，便携式心电图设备有着广阔且不断增长的市场。要使用便携式心电图测量设备，由于我们需要减小电极尺寸和间距，确定合适的测量位置至关重要。本研究旨在探讨电极间距如何影响信号，以及电极对应如何放置在胸部，以便在任何环境（如家庭或工作场所）中获得足够可靠的心电图信号来检测心律失常。因此，我们开发了一种紧凑的、便携式贴片式动态心电图监测系统——心脏追踪器，使用微处理器对信号分析进行初步研究。为了在无线环境中优化电极布置，我们在改变电极位置的情况下对心脏追踪器和标准12导联进行了比较。
