Development of standard ECG simulator for 15-Lead ECG monitor

초록

A 15-Lead ECG has been developed to diagnose posterior wall diseases of the heart that a 12-Lead ECG cannot diagnose. However, 15-Lead ECG data for developing heart-diseases-detecting algorithm are limited, and previous ECG simulators cannot predict the ECG waveform according to the changes in electrode. To solve these problems, the lumped parameter model (LPM), which divides the heart into 15 sections with varying electrical capacitance and electrical resistance. To imitate the electrical conduction in the heart, each node was connected to a current source and delivered the specific current considering the positions and time delay. The purpose of this study is to acquire the waveform that can be used in an ECG by delivering the specific current to LPM. ©2015 The Korean Society of Mechanical Engineers.
