Abstract

Biosignals are becoming more and more significant for studying the mechanism of the human body, due to the manner of generating reflect the perform of body parts. These signals can be used for obtaining useful information for studying, diagnosis and analysing. Due to the complexity of the heart anatomy, Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals consider an efficient way for observing the performance of the cardiac muscle. This paper demonstrates how full ECG signals can be measured by designing suitable software and equipment for a Biopac System, to acquire signals of the standard bipolar leads namely lead I, lead II and lead III. This new design has applied the concept of Einthoven’s triangle for obtaining ECG signals in three dimensions by using 4 electrodes instead of 9 electrodes per subject in Biopac System. The result shows good acquisition of ECG signals for all leads, thereby matching within the standard heart rate 75 BPM
