Hi from hospital

[Fat Audi 80]

Bloody hell Andy. I hope you get sorted out quickly and are back on the road soon.

Best regards,

Steve.

Relax and take it easy Andy

[Andreas]

Oh dear.. I hope you get well as soon as possible, hard to chase those hot nurses with a bad ticker!!

Best wishes from Sweden mate!

wtf...whats happnin andy?its not because you were coming for a spin in the ur was it...it makes my ticker race at times..on a serious one tho mate,hope all is well...pm me where you are and i will call to see you

Hope its just something relatively "normal" and they get it sorted without any problems mate!

Got to love the way you can jump on the forum even when your confined to a hospital bed though

If your heart continues to show arrhythmic or tachycardic symptoms then they may shock it to get the stable rhythm back. Nowt to worry about matey....i

Bloody hell Dr. HPmuirt!

Get well soon.

Talking of arrythmias - I had to build a high resolution (1ms) ECG monitor as a final year student project (my lecturer was one Fred Flintstone) - it was designed to detect these strange arrythmias - and it worked too... Built on a 68008 micro with hand written assembly code that had to find the peaks on 'R' waves and accurately count time between them - not trivial. But I digress.......

Hope you get well soon andy.

Best wishes.

At times like this, small problems one has are all brought into perspective.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.

I'm guessing you didn't use discrete wavelet transforms to achieve this? FFT maybe?

[S2central.net]

In raw assembly - no way - there was some differential equations that I vaguely recall - done in realtime as the waveform was sampled to detect the peak - nothing like as complex as FFTs and no requirement to extract information about frequency content - the QRS waveform is a pretty complex shape... If you can reliably detect peak of the R wave and count time between them - you are there. Again this was a 1989 solution to the problem so I dare say that more elaborate means are now cost effective alternatives. I almost went into the bio-medical field of electronics actually but thats another story. Its a very interesting subject alright - but it does hurt your head with all the biological stuff behind it - thats where I struggled... I could visualise telephones and cars working much better !!!

And you dont want to be the one which wrote the stuff which causes Mr. Bloggs heart to explode!

I've just spoken to Andy, he's still in hospital and will be for the next couple of days waiting for more test results. The internet access is very intermitant, hence no reply's from him, but he says thatnks for all the support.

[Ross]

Get well soon, hope all is well... looks like Paul can build a heart monitor in to the homefries, for the nervous passenger... that'll be the Z-stream then?

[shark_90]

All the best Andy, hope everything is OK.
