Did You Know?Did You Know?More than 1.2 million Americans will suffer a heart attack, where about 502,000 of these people will die!340,000 of them in an ER or BEFORE they reach a hospital.
Surviving a heart attack depends on the treatment that is given within the first hour of the heart attack.
Most common reason for treatment delay is patient unawareness.

Heart attack(Myocardial Infarction)
An event that results in permanent damage to the heart.
myocardium = heart muscle.
infarct = die.
Medical Background Medical Background (cont.)(cont.)
Q-waves and inverted T-waves are two diagnostic wave forms seen in old heart attacks and new heart attacks respectively.
88
ST-Elevation (STEMI)Elevation of ST-segment relative to PR or TP segment.
ST-elevation is a sign for coming heart attack (acute myocardial infarction).
Short PR interval - very difficult for computer algorithms to find the isoelectric reference level.

NI/FPGA – Pros & ConsNI/FPGA – Pros & Cons
ProsRapid prototype system.Dedicated hardware and software.
ConsNI development environment is non-conventional – design extraction to other non NI/FPGA environments is NOT possible.VHDL code is hidden from user.
