Detection of Wavelet Transform-Processed Ventricular Late Potentials and Approximate Entropy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ventricular Late Potentials (VLPs) are low-level highfrequency signals that are usually found within the terminal part of the QRS complex from patients after Myocardial Infarction. Patients with VLPs are at risk of developing Ventricular Tachycardia, which is the major cause of death of patients suffering from heart disease. In this study, the Continuous Wavelet Transform was used to detect VLPs and then approximate entropy (ApEn) was applied to classify subjects with and without VLPs. Approximate entropy has been recently proposed to quantify the irregularity in physiological signals. High ApEn values indicate greater irregularity. Patients with VLPs tend to have higher ApEn values than those without. Preliminary investigations in this study show promising results for distinction between the two patient groups.

Detection of Ventricular Late Potentials in High-Resolution ECG Signals by a Method Based on the Continuous Wavelet Transform and Artificial Neural Networks
-Ventricular Late Potentials (VLPs) are low-amplitude, high-frequency signals which appear at the end part of the QRS complex of a High-Resolution ECG (HRECG) record including three orthogonal (XYZ) leads. VLPs are clinically useful in identifying post-MI (Myocardial Infarction) patients prone to Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) and Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD). The Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT)...

In this paper, we present an edge detection method based on wavelet transform and Hessian matrix of image at each pixel. Many methods which based on wavelet transform, use wavelet transform to approximate the gradient of image and detect edges by searching the modulus maximum of gradient vectors. In our scheme, we use wavelet transform to approximate Hessian matrix of image at each pixel, too. ...
