We are already using ADC for battery sense, also tried using ADC and LPCOM but could not get any reliable result.

I'm not sure which response you replied to, as you posted your response and an answer
Using the ADC is not ideal for pulse detection, because of the acquisition time
I don't know the acquisition time of the ADC on the nRF51822 but I'm fairly sure if you ran it constantly, you would be able to detect a 1mS wide pulse.
However normally pulse detection is done using GPIO and possibly via interrupt GPIOTE
Do you require a low power solution, as I don't think an OpAmp is likely to be low power.
What OpAmp did you try using, is it "rail to rail" i.e will it drive the output to the supply voltage ?
