The Concept of a New Generation of Electrocardiogram Simulators

  • MEDICAL AND BIOLOGICAL MEASUREMENTS

Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

The article is devoted to the issues of conceptual development of a new generation of electrocardiogram imitators. A mathematical model is proposed for simulating ECG signal considering the variability of biosignal morphology, the presence of various distortions and artefacts, heart rate variability and respiratory modulation of ECG signal. A block diagram of the ECG simulator was designed.
