چکیده

Accurately differentiating between ventricular fibrillation (VF) and ventricular tachycardia (VT) episodes is crucial in preventing potentially fatal misinterpretations. If VT is misinterpreted as VF, the patient will receive an unnecessary shock that could damage the heart; conversely, if VF is incorrectly interpreted as VT, the result will be life-threatening. In this study, a new method called semantic mining is used to characterize VT and VF episodes by extracting their significant characteristics (the frequency, damping coefficient and input signal). This newly proposed method was tested using a widely recognized database provided by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and achieved high detection accuracy of 96.7%. The semantic mining technique was capable of completely discriminating between normal rhythms and VT and VF episodes without any false detections and also distinguished VT and VF episodes from one another with a recognition sensitivity of 94.1% and 95.2% for VT and VF, respectively.

A 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. ...

Ellagic acid improved arrhythmias induced by CaCL2 in the rat stress model

Objective: In ventricular arrhythmias, due to their free radical scavenging action, antioxidant agents are usually used in the treatment of cardiovascular disease. Since stress is considered as risk factor for increased mortality by causing malignant arrhythmias, the study was designed to evaluate the cardioprotective effects of ellagic acid (EA) on CaCl2-induced arrhythmias in rat stress model...

Characterization of Ventricular Tachycardia and Fibrillation Using Semantic Mining

Ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) are potentially life-threatening forms of cardiac arrhythmia. Fast and accurate detection of these conditions can save lives. We used semantic mining to characterize VT and VF episodes by extracting three significant parameters (frequency, damping coefficient and input signal) from electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. This method was use...
