This paper introduces a design methodology for capturing the electrocardiogram for real time assessment of the heart condition of persons. The method uses an instrumentation amplifier for capturing the ecg-signal from the human body; it is then filtered and suitably amplified for recording purpose. The visual identification of different features in the captured signal is done to compare it with respect to the normal values for finding the novelties in it so that physician can take prompt action against any problem. This signal is further digitized to store and to develop a database for future analysis.
