The problem of real time restrictions and effectiveness requirements of the QRS detection algorithm is presented in the paper. Several approaches were taken into account and were tested during the research. CSE ECG databases were used as test signal set. FIR and IIR filters were investigated as well as different filter coefficients floating point data types. The paper summarises Authors’ investigations in the field of QRS detector application to the contemporary market platform.

Some medical devices such as mechanical circulatory support systems and defibrillators require synchronization with the appropriate phase of the cardiac cycle of the patient. This paper presents a description of the electrocardiographic (ECG) signal amplifier and QRS detector designed for use with such devices. The detector system was built using a programmable analog array AN231E04 and the ECG amplifier with an analog-digital (A/D) converter based on a programmable circuit (front-end) ADS129x. By using the programmable elements and exploiting the potential of dynamic analog matrix reconfiguration, the presented detector achieved the desired features, such as low latency of QRS detection, automatic gain control and the ability to change the time constant by software. High-resolution of the A/D converter in the ADS1298x and the possibility of programming the gain of the amplifier allow the acquisition of the ECG signal acquired from different types of electrodes: disposable standard, epicardial or endocavitary. The tests of the prototype system proved that it is highly effective for the detection of QRS complexes in ECG waveforms recorded from all kinds of electrodes.

In this paper a new method of maternal electrocardiogram suppression for fetal component extraction from one-channel maternal abdominal bioelectric signals is proposed. The method performs maternal ECG estimation by application of state-space averaging. The estimated signal is subtracted from the original one and this way suppressed. The method parameters allow us to balance between the precision of maternal ECG suppression and the necessity not to attenuate the fetal QRS complexes. A small database of the maternal abdominal bioelectric signals is used to investigate the developed system for fetal heart rate determination. The final assessment is based on the detection performance index. It is shown that by proper choice of the parameters we can tune the system so that it is more effective than the classical approach based on template subtraction.

In some applications it is important to detect the QRS complex in the ECG waveform with possibly low time delay. Traditional software detectors of the QRS complex implement algorithms usually based on cascades of digital filters that introduce delays up to parts of a second. On the other hand, hardware QRS detectors fulfil the low delay requirements, but have worse adaptive features for the changing ECG shape. In this paper a new approach to QRS detection is presented. The proposed detector is based on a Field Programmable Analog Array (FPAA). This solution makes it possible to modify the parameters of particular blocks of the detector or even the whole structure without any changes in hardware, while the processing path is fully analog and does not introduce an additional delay. The most interesting feature of the FPAA is the dynamic reconfigurability. The parameters can be changed during runtime without any reset of the circuit or any other disturbances of the system functionality. The prototype QRS detector was built using the AN221E04 circuit from the Anadigm company.
