Improvement of the Fetal Electrocardiogram Signals
نویسندگان
چکیده
-The health of the fetus is of major concern to both obstetricians and expectant mothers. A non-invasive fetal electrocardiogram (FECG) system can monitor fetal cardiac condition during pregnancy. However, the FECG signal is often very weak or drowned out by the mother’s ECG (MECG) and other noises. This study uses a FastICA algorithm to the isolate FECG signal from other noise interference. The results show that such mixed signals can be separated by FastICA into MECG, FECG, and noises, thus enabling obstetrician to clearly understand the fetal condition through FECG monitoring. Key-Words: Signal processing, ICA, FECG

A New Approach to Detect Congestive Heart Failure Using Symbolic Dynamics Analysis of Electrocardiogram Signal
The aim of this study is to show that the measures derived from Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals many a time perform better than the same measures obtained from heart rate (HR) signals. A comparison was made to investigate how far the nonlinear symbolic dynamics approach helps to characterize the nonlinear properties of ECG signals and HR signals, and thereby discriminate between normal and cong...

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 کاملImprovement of Fetal Electrocardiogram Extraction by Application of Fuzzy Adaptive Resonance Theory to Adaptive Neural Fuzzy System
non-invasive fetal electrocardiogram (FECG) signal extraction from signals recorded at abdominal area of mother is a challenging problem for the biomedical and signal processing communities. In this paper, we improve the FECG extraction approaches which consist to find the relation-ships between the cardiac potentials generated at the heart level of mother and the potentials recorded on the abd...
