Abstract
An electrocardiogram (ECG) processor is disclosed. The ECG processor includes ECG sampling circuitry configured in a first mode to acquire a continuous ECG sample set from an ECG signal by digitally sampling the ECG signal at a Nyquist rate for a first predetermined number of heartbeats and in a second mode to acquire a non-continuous ECG sample set from the ECG signal for a second predetermined number of heartbeats by digitally sampling active regions of the ECG signal that contain a PQRST complex and not from silent regions between adjacent PQRST complexes. The ECG processor also includes processing circuitry configured to determine from the continuous ECG sample set relative locations of the active regions and provide the relative locations of the active regions to the ECG sampling circuitry for sampling the ECG signal in the second mode.
