In this work we apply the Method of Critical Fluctuations (MCF)on human Electrocardiogram (ECG) time-series. The method is able to reveal critical characteristics, in terms of physical behavior, in experimentally recorded signals. Using the…
We propose a novel algorithm to recover fetal electrocardiogram (ECG) for both the fetal heart rate analysis and morphological analysis of its waveform from two or three trans-abdominal maternal ECG channels. We design an algorithm based on…
Cardiovascular diseases stand as the primary global cause of mortality. Among the various imaging techniques available for visualising the heart and evaluating its function, echocardiograms emerge as the preferred choice due to their safety…
Monitoring the activity of the heart is important for diagnosing and preventing cardiovascular diseases. The electrocardiogram (ECG) is the gold standard for diagnosing such diseases. It monitors the heart's electrical activity, and while…
Frequently, transient changes in physiological signals, such as ECG morphology, precede or follow a rate change. Current methods for visualizing morphology allow only the tracking of preselected changes, severely limiting analytical…
Heart-rate estimation is a fundamental feature of modern wearable devices. In this paper we propose a machine intelligent approach for heart-rate estimation from electrocardiogram (ECG) data collected using wearable devices. The novelty of…
Cardiovascular diseases, a leading cause of noncommunicable disease-related deaths, require early and accurate detection to improve patient outcomes. Taking advantage of advances in machine learning and deep learning, multiple approaches…
Owing to recent advances in thoracic electrical impedance tomography, a patient's hemodynamic function can be noninvasively and continuously estimated in real-time by surveilling a cardiac volume signal associated with stroke volume and…
Interpretation of electrocardiography (ECG) signals is required for diagnosing cardiac arrhythmia. Recently, machine learning techniques have been applied for automated computer-aided diagnosis. Machine learning tasks can be divided into…
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is a common cardiac arrhythmia affecting a large number of people around the world. If left undetected, it will develop into chronic disability or even early mortality. However, patients who have this problem can…
The industry of wearable remote health monitoring system keeps growing. In the diagnosis of cardiovascular disease, Electrocardiography~(ECG) waveform is one of the major tools which is thus widely taken as the monitoring objective. For the…
Motivation. Phonocardiography can give access to the fetal heart rate as well as direct heart sound data, and is entirely passive, using no radiation of any kind. Approach. We discuss the currently available methods for fetal heart sound…
The T-wave of an electrocardiogram (ECG) represents the ventricular repolarization that is critical in restoration of the heart muscle to a pre-contractile state prior to the next beat. Alterations in the T-wave reflect various cardiac…
Many types of ventricular and atrial cardiac arrhythmias have been discovered in clinical practice in the past 100 years, and these arrhythmias are a major contributor to sudden cardiac death. Ventricular tachycardia, ventricular…
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a leading cause of mortality worldwide, underscoring the importance of accurate and scalable diagnostic systems. Electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis is central to detecting cardiac abnormalities, yet…
The state-of-the-art cardiovascular disease diagnosis techniques use machine-learning algorithms based on feature extraction and classification. In this work, in contrast to a conventional single Electrocardiogram (ECG) lead, two leads are…
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most prevalent cardiac arrhythmias that affects the lives of more than 3 million people in the U.S. and over 33 million people around the world and is associated with a five-fold increased risk of…
Traditional authentication systems use alphanumeric or graphical passwords, or token-based techniques that require "something you know and something you have". The disadvantages of these systems include the risks of forgetfulness, loss, and…
Automated interpretation of electrocardiograms (ECG) has garnered significant attention with the advancements in machine learning methodologies. Despite the growing interest, most current studies focus solely on classification or regression…
