Objective To develope a realtime system for ECG signals acquisition,amplification and network transmission.Methods The raw noisy ECG signals underwent gain amplification,denoising and filtering by a system developed by virtual instrument and LabVIEW,and network component programming was carried out based on TCP/IP.Then the processed ECG signals were transmitted to remote terminals with dual communication model.Results The system behaved well in easy operation,high reliability and man-machine interface,and could be used to realize remote realtime transmission and browsing of ECG signals between the hospital and medical communities.Conclusion The system may be a choice for ECG signals remote acquisition and transmission,and provides references for the development of telemedicine software.
