Classification of Premature Ventricular Contraction in ECG
Cardiac arrhythmia is one of the most important indicators of heart disease. Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are a common form of cardiac arrhythmia caused by ectopic heartbeats. The detection of PVCs by means of ECG (electrocardiogram) signals is important for the prediction of possible heart failure. This study focuses on the classification of PVC heartbeats from ECG signals and, in...
متن کاملPremature Ventricular Contraction-Induced Systolic Heart Failure: A Treatable Condition
Several clinical predictors of VPD-induced cardiomyopathy and HF have been identified. Classically, a high VPD burden of more than 24% has been associated with impaired LVEF and HF [13]. A longitudinal study found subclinical deterioration in LVEF over 5 years in those with a high burden of VPDs (≥ 10-20%) [14]. Despite the absence of a definitive and clear cutoff, the risk of developing NICM a...
متن کاملPremature ventricular contraction-induced cardiomyopathy: a treatable condition.
Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are early depolarizations of the myocardium originating in the ventricle. They are often seen in association with structural heart disease and represent increased risk of sudden death,1 yet they are ubiquitous, even in the absence of identifiable heart disease.1,2 They may cause troubling and sometimes incapacitating symptoms such as palpitations, chest...
متن کاملCharacterization and Treatment of the Malignant Premature Ventricular Contraction
The majority of deaths from acute myocardial infarction (AMI) occur prior to the arrival of medical aid and appear to be due to ventricular fibrillation (VF). Since the premature ventricular contraction and bradyeardia are believed to predispose to VF, it has been suggested that administration of atropine or lidocaine during the prehospital phase of AMI may effectively reduce mortality in AMI. ...
متن کاملDetection of Premature Ventricular Contraction Beats Using ANN
Detection and classification of ventricular complexities from the electrocardiogram (ECG) is of considerable importance in critical care and patient monitoring for the timely diagnosis of dangerous heart conditions. Accurate detection of premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) is particularly important in relation to life-threatening arrhythmias. Model based approach for detection of PVC is a...
