An Objective Approach towards Assessment of the Physiological Age of Heart
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel objective methodology is proposed for the assessment of the physiological age of the heart which is based on extraction of wavelet features from sternal ballistocardiogram and classification of these features using neural networks and k-nearest neighbor classifiers. Some promising preliminary results suggest that the proposed methodology is feasible to be developed to a tool for assessment of the physiological age of the heart independent of its chronological age and present a new tool for the assessment of the cardiac performance.

Background: The importance of ergonomics is to create fit between work and human physiology using assessment methods of physical, physiological and subjective evaluation. The most commonly used tool for assessment of subjective symptoms is Borg scale during physical work and heart rate in physiological situations. This study is based on a subjective and physiological assessment during hard work...

Vulnerability assessment of structures encounter many uncertainties like seismic excitations intensity and response of structures. The most common approach adopted to deal with these uncertainties is vulnerability assessment through fragility functions. Fragility functions exhibit the probability of exceeding a state namely performance-level as a function of seismic intensity. A common approach...
