Resumen
El monitoreo ambulatorio de las señales electrocardiográficas (ECG), “Holter”, representa una herramienta esencial, en la evaluación diagnóstica de pacientes con arritmias cardiacas involucradas en procesos patológicos como miocardiopatías, estadios post-infarto, lesiones del sistema autónomo cardíaco, entre otros, así como en el seguimiento del funcionamiento de marcapasos implantados. Los equipos disponibles en Colombia para realizar este tipo de funciones, son muy especializados, por lo que resultan costosos y poco asequibles para muchos pacientes. En este proyecto, se desarrolló un prototipo de un sistema de monitoreo y registro de eventos cardiacos, que acondiciona las señales ECG a través de la amplificación, filtración y elevación del nivel DC, y almacena la información adquirida de las tres derivadas principales (DI, DII y DIII), en una memoria SD (Security Digital), usando el estándar de archivos FAT (File Allocation Table), permitiendo que la información pueda ser leída en cualquier computador. Además, se desarrolló un software que permite visualizar los registros previamente almacenados en la memoria, para su revisión y análisis. Con la ayuda de un simulador de ondas ECG, se calibraron las frecuencias de 30 BPM, 120 BPM y 300 BPM las amplitudes 0,5 mV, 1 mV y 2 mV. Se encontró que los errores del prototipo son del 1% para frecuencia y del 6% para amplitud.
Abstract— The ambulatory monitoring of electrocardiographic signals, “Holter”, represents a decisive tool in the diagnostic evaluation of patients with cardiac arrhythmias involved in pathological processes like cardiomyopathies, post-infarct stages, injuries of the cardiac autonomous system, among others, as well as in the monitoring of implanted pacemakers. There are few devices of this kind available in Colombia and most of them are very specialized and expensive for the majority of patients. We built a cardiac monitoring and cardiac events registering system prototype that processes the ECG signals (amplification, filtration and DC elevation), and stores the data acquired from the three main derivations DI, DII and DIII in an SD (Security Digital) memory using the FAT (File Allocation Table) standard, which allows the reading of this information in any computer. Moreover, we developed a software program that allows for the visualization of the registries previously stored in the SD memory for their review and analysis. Using an ECG simulator, the frequencies 30 BPM, 120 BPM and 300 BPM and the amplitudes 0,5 mV, 1 mV and 2 mV were calibrated. It was found that the prototype errors were smaller than 1% for frequency and 6% for amplitude.
