Warton, Bryan T.V. (1979). A Multi-Processor System for the Detection of Electrocardiogram Arrhythmias. PHD thesis, Aston University.
Abstract
This thesis describes the research work performed to produce a real-time distributed microprocessor system for the diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmias. The distributed microprocessor approach developed allowed the allocation of a microprocessor to each patient for the purpose of electrocardiogram analysis. The functions performed by these patient-dedicated processors include digital filtering of the electrocardiogram, the detection and measurement of each heartbeat complex, and the diagnosis of arrhythmias by decision tables. These patient processors then communicate the required patient analysis results and diagnoses to a centralised operator-dedicated processor. This operator-dedicated processor allows the functions of overall system control, display, and storage to be centralised.
