Towards Ventricular Arrhythmia Prediction from ECG Signals
نویسنده
چکیده
The Problem Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is one of the main causes of sudden cardiac death in the Western world. It is a type of arrhythmia that causes the heart to beat chaotically, rendering it unable to pump blood. VF is usually preceded by ventricular tachycardia (VT), which is another type of arrhythmia that also constitutes a medical emergency. It is crucial for the patient to receive immediate medical intervention when either VF or VT occurs, so a method that predicts their occurrence even a few seconds in advance can potentially save lives. The goal of this research is to investigate the possibility of predicting ventricular arrhythmias from an electrocardiogram (ECG) signal, which is a measurement of the cardiac electrical activity.

Classification of ECG signals using Hermite functions and MLP neural networks
Classification of heart arrhythmia is an important step in developing devices for monitoring the health of individuals. This paper proposes a three module system for classification of electrocardiogram (ECG) beats. These modules are: denoising module, feature extraction module and a classification module. In the first module the stationary wavelet transform (SWF) is used for noise reduction of ...

Cardiovascular diseases are the most dangerous diseases and one of the biggest causes of fatality all over the world. One of the most common cardiac arrhythmias which has been considered by physicians is premature ventricular contraction (PVC) arrhythmia. Detecting this type of arrhythmia due to its abundance of all ages, is particularly important. ECG signal recording is a non-invasive, popula...

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...

BACKGROUND The theory of chaos proves a deterministic mechanism of induction of multiple complex processes previously thought to be random in nature. This research explains how these complex processes develop. The aim of the study was to test the hypothesis of the chaotic nature of myocardial electrical events during ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF). METHODS Orig...

An automatic configuration that can detect the position of R-waves, classify the normal sinus rhythm (NSR) and other four arrhythmic types from the continuous ECG signals obtained from the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database is proposed. In this configuration, a support vector machine (SVM) was used to detect and mark the ECG heartbeats with raw signals and differential signals of a lead ECG. An algori...
