Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are becoming significant for the ever-increasing mortality rates. Portable ECG devices are gaining importance and acceptance by medical practitioners as real-time human heart health monitoring devices. Holter devices cannot deliver real-time diagnosis requirements to identify arrhythmia, thus limiting their usage in critical conditions. Hence, there is a need to develop energy-efficient ECG detection algorithms for implantable and portable cardiac devices to monitor arrhythmia. A high-performance and energy-efficient electrocardiogram (ECG) detector to develop modern implantable cardiac pacemaker systems is presented in this chapter.
