Preface
We live in a fast-paced world today and, very often, we do not even have enough time for ourselves to recuperate fully after suffering from ailments. We also suffer from many lifestyle diseases, inconveniencing us slowly and silently. These are proving to be a big burden to our health care system. Quite naturally, researchers in the health care sector are trying their best to come up with technologies that provide help to those who would like to live a normal life despite their health problems. Pervasive health care in the area of cardiac abnormalities is perhaps the most important one. One requires constant monitoring of the cardiac condition of a subject who is known to have had difficulties earlier. Holter monitoring had been one of the major steps in this direction, although it is not meant to be a fully wearable yet pervasive system. Over the last decade, attempts are being made to build a device which is truly wearable and provides various pre- and post-processing facilities. Electrocardiography is the simplest non-invasive method of collecting signal from the beating h
