Forecasting of Ventricular Tachycardia using Scaling Characteristics and Entropy of Heart Rate Time Series
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we investigated heart rate time series stored by implantable cardioverter defibrillators in order to the short-term forecast ventricular tachycardia (VT). Standard heart rate variability (HRV) parameters, compression based entropy functions, and HRV scaling characteristics (detrended fluctuation analysis, Higuchi’s fractal dimension) were analyzed in 29 VT time series and compared to individually acquired control time series. We found no differences in standard HRV parameters but significant changes in the entropy function as well as in the scaling characteristics of HRV before the onset of VT. In conclusion, HRV analysis might provide markers for early detection of forthcoming VT. Keywords—Heart rate variability, compression entropy, scaling analysis, ventricular tachycardia

Prolonged Oral Administration of Oleuropein Might Protect Heart against Aconitine-induced Arrhythmia
In this study, it was surveyed to know whether an oral single dose of oleuropein could mimic the cardiac preconditioning in rats’ hearts or whether its prolonged oral administration could protect the heart against the aconitine-induced arrhythmia in rats. Eighty male Wistar rats were divided into two series (n = 8 in each group). In the first series, all groups (except the control (Con) group) ...

متن کاملA new approach to detect Life threatening cardiac arrhythmias using Sequential spectrum of Electrocardiogram signals
This study evaluates the discriminative power of sequential spectrum analysis of the short-term electrocardiogram (ECG) time series in separating normal and subjects with life threatening arrhythmias like, ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation (VT/VF). The raw ECG time series is transformed into a series of binary symbols and the binary occupancy or relative distribution of mono-sequences (i.e. ...
متن کاملDoppler-Derived Myocardial Performance Index in Healthy Children in Shiraz
Background: Assessment of myocardial function is essential in heart disease, but in regard to systolic and diastolic functions such evaluation has limitation. Ejection fraction is difficult to assess in abnormally-shaped ventricles, and diastolic inflow velocity pattern may be fused because of tachycardia. Objective: A myocardial performance index (MPI) or Tei index has been developed for adult...
