Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common arrhythmias with challenging public health implications. Therefore, automatic detection of AF episodes on ECG is one of the essential tasks in biomedical engineering. In this paper, we…
Catheter ablation of Atrial Fibrillation (AF) consists of a one-size-fits-all treatment with limited success in persistent AF. This may be due to our inability to map the dynamics of AF with the limited resolution and coverage provided by…
BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common arrhythmia, is linked to high morbidity and mortality. In a fast-evolving AF rhythm control treatment era, predicting AF recurrence after its onset may be crucial to achieve the optimal…
Atrial fibrillation(termed as AF/Afib henceforth) is a discrete and often rapid heart rhythm that can lead to clots near the heart. We can detect Afib by ECG signal by the absence of p and inconsistent intervals between R waves as shown in…
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common cardiac arrhythmia characterized by rapid and irregular contractions of the atria. It significantly elevates the risk of strokes due to slowed blood flow in the atria, especially in the left atrial…
Atrial Fibrillation is a common form of irregular heart rhythm that can be very dangerous. Our primary goal is to analyze Atrial Fibrillation data within ECGs to develop a model based only on RR-Intervals, or the length between heart-beats,…
Introduction: Deep learning models for detecting episodes of atrial fibrillation (AF) using rhythm information in long-term, ambulatory ECG recordings have shown high performance. However, the rhythm-based approach does not take advantage…
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is a heart's arrhythmia which, despite being often asymptomatic, represents an important risk factor for stroke, therefore being able to predict AF at the electrocardiogram exam, would be of great impact on actively…
Ischemic heart disease is the highest cause of mortality globally each year. This not only puts a massive strain on the lives of those affected but also on the public healthcare systems. To understand the dynamics of the healthy and…
Early detection of atrial fibrillation (AFib) is challenging due to its asymptomatic and paroxysmal nature. However, advances in deep learning algorithms and the vast collection of electrocardiogram (ECG) data from devices such as the…
Objective: This work aims at providing a new method for the automatic detection of atrial fibrillation, other arrhythmia and noise on short single lead ECG signals, emphasizing the importance of the interpretability of the classification…
The complexity of the patterns associated with Atrial Fibrillation (AF) and the high level of noise affecting these patterns have significantly limited the current signal processing and shallow machine learning approaches to get accurate AF…
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent sustained arrhythmia, yet current ablation therapies, including pulmonary vein isolation, are frequently ineffective in persistent AF due to the involvement of non-pulmonary vein drivers. This…
Photoplethysmography (PPG) signals, typically acquired from wearable devices, hold significant potential for continuous fitness-health monitoring. In particular, heart conditions that manifest in rare and subtle deviating heart patterns may…
Wearable devices with photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors are widely used to monitor heart rate (HR), yet often suffer from accuracy issues. However, users typically do not receive an indication of potential measurement errors. We present a…
Arrhythmias are irregularities in the hearts electrical system which cause rapid and irregular heartbeats. These heart conditions affect over 33 million people globally and significantly increase the risk of severe complications, including…
Respiratory ailments such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, and lung cancer are life-threatening. Respiration rate (RR) is a vital indicator of the wellness of a patient. Continuous monitoring of RR can…
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the number one cause of death worldwide. While there is growing evidence that the atrial fibrillation (AF) has strong associations with various CVDs, this heart arrhythmia is usually diagnosed using…
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is characterized by rapid, irregular heartbeats, and can lead to fatal complications such as heart failure. The disease is divided into two sub-types based on severity, which can be automatically classified through…
Remote patient monitoring based on wearable single-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) devices has significant potential for enabling the early detection of heart disease, especially in combination with artificial intelligence (AI) approaches for…
