Exploiting Independence Measures in Dual Spaces with Application to Atrial F-wave Extraction in the Ecg
نویسندگان
چکیده
Atrial flutter is a life-threatening cardiac arrhythmia with an increasing prevalence during the last decennia. To characterise and diagnose atrial fibrillation based on the electrocardiographic waveforms, we propose an algorithm that extracts the f-wave from the observations. This algorithm is based on classical independent component analysis algorithms, but is applied in a transform domain of the original signal to assure that the source extraction contrast is discriminative for the source of interest. Results show that it is of high importance to choose the right domain before processing the signal.

Assessment of P-wave indices as atrial fibrillation predictors in psoriasis patients
Background: Psoriasis is a prevalent chronic T cell mediated inflammatory skin disorder. Recent studies have reported an increase in the incidence of arrhythmia in psoriasis patients who run an excessive risk of metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular diseases. P-wave dispersion (PWD) and duration are important electrocardiographic (ECG) markers employed to anticipate the risk of atrial arrhythmi...
متن کاملCorrelation between Mean Serum Ferritin Levels and Atrial Electrocardiographic Markers in Beta-Thalassemia Major
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in patients with β-thalassemia major (β-TM) due to cardiac iron overload. AF may be predicted by changes in P wave parameters. The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between P-wave parameters and atrial markers with mean serum ferritin levels measured yearly. Methods: Fifty patients with β-TM and 50 healthy subje...
متن کاملClinical Significance of P Wave Dispersion in Prediction of Atrial Fibrillation in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction
Background: P wave dispersion (PWD) is defined as the difference between the maximum P wave duration (Pmax) and the minimum P wave duration (Pmin) in 12-leads of the surface electrocardiography. The aim of this study was to evaluate the values of PWD during atrial fibrillation (AF) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods: We prospectively evaluated atrial rhythms of 350 patients (251 m...
متن کاملP-wave Dispersion in Patients with Major Thalassemia
Abstract Background Prolonged P-wave duration and P-wave dispersion indicate interatrial conduction disturbance and early predict arrhythmia especially atrial fibrillation. Iron deposition in the atrial tissue might prolonged the atrial conduction time, and this study evaluated the P-wave prolongation and increased P-Wave dispersion in these patients. Materials and Methods Fifty patients w...
متن کاملOn the dual of certain locally convex function spaces
In this paper, we first introduce some function spaces, with certain locally convex topologies, closely related to the space of real-valued continuous functions on $X$, where $X$ is a $C$-distinguished topological space. Then, we show that their dual spaces can be identified in a natural way with certain spaces of Radon measures.
