“…And also a triaxial accelerometer was used to measure the body movements [90] or daily stress [97] and for left ventricular functions monitoring [98]. A triaxial gait accelerometer MMA7260Q (freescale semiconductor, Austin, TX, USA) [99], piezoelectric foils [100], and Pegasus activity monitors developed by ETB, UK, were used for time-frequency analysis of heart rate. Triaxial accelerometer ADXL335 [9, 79] and MotionPodTM by MOVEA [98] were used as the reference for removing motion artefact by adaptive filtering algorithm (LMS or ANC) in acquiring of ECG during treadmill exercise.…”

External cardiac loop recorder (ELR) is a kind of ECG monitoring system that records cardiac activities of a subject continuously for a long time. When the heart palpitations are not the frequent and nonspecific character, it is difficult to diagnose the disease. In such a case, ELR is used for long-term monitoring of heart signal of the patient. But the cost of ELR is very high. Therefore, it is not prominently available in developing countries like India. Since the design of ELR includes the ECG electrodes, instrumentation amplifier, analog to digital converter, and signal processing unit, a comparative review of each part of the ELR is presented in this paper in order to design a cost effective, low power, and compact kind of ELR. This review will also give different choices available for selecting and designing each part of the ELR system. Finally, the review will suggest the better choice for designing a cost effective external cardiac loop recorder that helps to make it available even for rural people in India.
