ECG SIMULATION AND INTEGRATION OF
KALMAN FILTER IN CARDIO PEDIATRIC CASES
Damir Šoštarić1, Received: 2nd April 2019. ABSTRACT This article will show an overview of the model and simulations of general cardio pediatrics cases. To avoid simulated interference, Kalman and lowpass filter blocks are placed. In pediatric cases normal ECG (Electrocardiogram) curve is a bit different in relation to the middle-age persons. In cardio pediatric is represented especially the ECG curve with higher beats/min. Depending on the age of the child's heart rate is variable. Therefore, identifying irregularities of the heart rate in children should be implemented a particular type of filter to eliminate rough measurement error on measurement signals. The model is obtained computationally shown in the examples of simulation in LabView and Java application programming interfaces. The model realization of the ECG signal is based on a few methods. Therefore, it selected only one method to display a simulated ECG signal. Installation of additional software filters allows us for realistic expectations after hardware integration. The real practical case is provided by a developed system with compiled firmware in the microcontroller. Firmware defines the behavior of the ECG signal after the integration of Kalman and the lowpass filter. Some cardio pediatric cases are processed with the method which can be applied Kalman or lowpass filter. KEY WORDS CLASSIFICATION
