Extraction of Atrial Activity from the ECG by Spectrally Constrained ICA Based on Kurtosis Sign
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper deals with the problem of estimating atrial activity during atrial fibrillation periods in the electrocardiogram (ECG). Since the signal of interest differs in kurtosis sign from the dominant sources in the ECG, we propose an independent component analysis method for source extraction based on the different kurtosis sign and extend it with a constraint of spectral concentration in the 3-12Hz frequency band. Results show that we are able to estimate the atrial fibrillation with a single algorithm having low computational complexity (O(7n-7)T).

Automated Extraction of Atrial Fibrillation Activity from the Surface ECG Using Independent Component Analysis in the Frequency Domain
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia encountered by physicians. The analysis of AF from the surface electrocardiogram (ECG) requires the suppression of artifacts such as ventricular activity (VA) and noise corrupting the recordings. Independent component analysis (ICA) has recently been shown to tackle successfully the extraction of atrial activity (AA) in ...
