ECGWARE: an ECG Markup Language for Ambulatory Telemonitoring and Decision Making Support
نویسندگان
چکیده
The ambulatory electrocardiogram (AECG) can be acquired and transmitted through mobile and wireless technologies and devices to foster heart’s telemonitoring anytime, anywhere. This sort of service is purposeful when combined with ECG analysis systems and infrastructural support for providing contextaware services. Such setting makes efficient emergency services possible as well as improves the support to physician’s decision making. This paper presents an ECG XML-based markup language that extends ECG reference standards in order to cover patient’s heart telemonitoring during his/her daily activities. The ECG data format we propose is then applied in a real scenario.

Near Field Communication-based telemonitoring with integrated ECG recordings.
OBJECTIVES Telemonitoring of vital signs is an established option in treatment of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). In order to allow for early detection of atrial fibrillation (AF) which is highly prevalent in the CHF population telemonitoring programs should include electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. It was therefore the aim to extend our current home monitoring system based on mobile ...
متن کاملTelemonitoring Boosts Atrial Fibrillation Detection in Cryptogenic Stroke Patients – Preliminary Findings
Background: Approximately 25% of strokes are cryptogenic in origin and identifying atrial fibrillation (AF) as an etiologic factor in this situation has major therapeutic implication. Standard Holter ECG has a low sensitivity for AF detection in this patient group. Aim: To assess the diagnostic yield of prolonged ambulatory noninvasive ECG telemonitoring for AF detection in cryptogenic stroke o...
متن کاملA Unified Framework for Delineation of Ambulatory Holter ECG Events via Analysis of a Multiple-Order Derivative Wavelet-Based Measure
In this study, a new long-duration holter electrocardiogram (ECG) major events detection-delineation algorithm is described which operates based on the false-alarm error bounded segmentation of a decision statistic with simple mathematical origin. To meet this end, first three-lead holter data is pre-processed by implementation of an appropriate bandpass finite-duration impulse response (FIR) f...

Heart Rate Variability (HRV) represents a physiological phenomenon which consists in the oscillation in the interval between consecutive heartbeats. Based on the HRV analysis, cardiology experts can make a assessment for both the cardiac health and the condition of the autonomic nervous system that is responsible for controlling heart activity and, consequently, they try to prevent cardiovascul...
