New system cardiac arrhythmia detection on FPGA

The QRS complex of ECG signal is the essential element to detect cardiac arrhythmias. In this paper, a real time design implementated on FPGA to present the QRS complex algorithm detection. For optimal implementation on FPGA, we have adapted the PAN and TOMPKINS algorithm. Our adaptation affects two main phases of this latter, while bringing our own contribution in the art of the QRS detection. By means of the Analog Discovery and the XSG design tool, we have achieved a system of arrhythmia detection in real time. A statistical study on the database MIT BIH, gives a good accuracy rate, using a 56 % of the resources in the FPGA virtex cx5vlx50t card.
