MICROcardio - UM DISPOSITIVO PARA COLETA E ANÁLISE DE SINAIS CARDÍACOS

Abstract

The Electrocardiogram remains a very important exam for the cardiologist, as it is a simple and low-cost exam to obtain a first diagnosis of the heart. However, the cost of commercial equipment still makes it impossible to use it in many places. Thus, this work presents a low-cost device, called MICROcardio, built with a microcontroller, which also provides a connection to a computer, in order to allow the visualization of the signals on the screen and also printed, in addition to the possibility of supporting their sharing. by different professionals, using the Internet. The results obtained in the experiments carried out with the MICROcardio were compared, by specialists in the medical field, with those obtained by commercial devices, and proved to be completely satisfactory.
