Spatiotemporal Separation Algorithm for Atrial Fibrillation Signal Estimation
نویسنده
چکیده
A new algorithm for the estimation of the atrial activity (AA) signal from the surface electrocardiogram during atrial fibrillation (AF) episodes is proposed. This algorithm has been based on blind source separation methods, and has been designed including statistical and temporal source information. With this new methodology, the estimation of the AA source is enhanced, comparing to the estimation obtained with other independent component analysis (ICA) algorithms. The validity of the proposed method is demonstrated with the analysis of 10 AF recordings. A performance parameter based on the spectral concentration of the AA around its main frequency was employed. The spatiotemporal analysis provided AA signals with an spectral concentration that was in average 13% above those obtained with ICA methods.

Comparison of Atrial Rhythm Extraction Techniques for the Estimation of the Main Atrial Frequency from the 12-lead Electrocardiogram in Atrial Fibrillation
One of the greatest challenges in analysis of the atrial rhythm from the ECG is to distinguish the atrial component from the large ventricular components. Our aim was to compare three techniques of atrial rhythm extraction from three groups working on this problem. 12-lead ECG data from 7 patients in atrial fibrillation were analysed. For extraction of the atrial rhythm, spatiotemporal QRST can...
