Title
Microprocessor-based heart monitoring
Abstract
The application of microprocessors in designing a complete heart monitoring system is highlighted. Starting from the electrical analogue model of the heart expressing the arterial pressure in terms of the model parameters, a technique for determining the stroke volume, mean pressure, heart rate, cardiac output, etc is described. The model parameters are determined online during the diastole condition using actual patients' pressure profiles. The model dynamics are realized on a Z80 microprocessor and the results of the stroke volume, heart rate, cardiac output, mean pressure etc are printed out on every other beat. The technique suggested is more reliable and accurate than the other conventional methods for long term monitoring of the patient's clinical data and may be more suitable for use in intensive care units.
