Abstract :
The design of a hardware system is described for an automated ECG diagnosis based on a pipeline processor consisting of three microcomputers. Four diagnostic parameters-heart rate, morphology, axis, and ST segment-are used for the classification and the diagnosis of arrhythmia. The functions of the main CPU were distributed and processed with three microcomputers. Therefore, the effective data process and the real-time process using a microcomputer could be obtained
