Cardiac frequency monitoring for the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases

Abstract

For people with CVD cardiovascular diseases or those with high cardiovascular risk, early detection and early treatment are fundamental, through counseling services or drug administration. In this paper we describe the development of an electronic device to measure the heart rate in people using the Amped pulse sensor, the Arduino card and the LabView platform. The system consists of the pulse sensor which is placed on the index finger, the Arduino card acquires the data and on the LabView platform, which determines the possible pathology according to the number of pulses per minute. The measurements of the pulsations per minute were made to 20 people of the City of Tantoyuca, of which 10 were adults and 10 children, the diagnosis was determined with the people at rest.
