An arrhythmia, also known as a dysrhythmia, refers to an irregular heartbeat. There are various types of arrhythmias that can originate from different areas of the heart, resulting in either a rapid, slow, or irregular heartbeat. An…
With tens of thousands of electrocardiogram (ECG) records processed by mobile cardiac event recorders every day, heart rhythm classification algorithms are an important tool for the continuous monitoring of patients at risk. We utilise an…
Cardiologists use electrocardiograms (ECG) for the detection of arrhythmias. However, continuous monitoring of ECG signals to detect cardiac abnormal-ities requires significant time and human resources. As a result, several deep learning…
Many biological phenomena such as locomotion, circadian cycles, and breathing are rhythmic in nature and can be modeled as rhythmic dynamical systems. Dynamical systems modeling often involves neglecting certain characteristics of a…
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…
Physical exercise has significant benefits for humans in improving the health and quality of their lives, by improving the functional performance of their cardiovascular and respiratory systems. However, it is very important to control the…
We consider the problem of locating a point-source heart arrhythmia using data from a standard diagnostic procedure, where a reference catheter is placed in the heart, and arrival times from a second diagnostic catheter are recorded as the…
In this work we propose a new method for the rhythm classification of short single-lead ECG records, using a set of high-level and clinically meaningful features provided by the abductive interpretation of the records. These features…
Wearable electrocardiograph (ECG) recording and processing systems have been developed to detect cardiac arrhythmia to help prevent heart attacks. Conventional wearable systems, however, suffer from high energy consumption at both circuit…
Injuries to the knee joint are very common for long-distance and frequent runners, an issue which is often attributed to fatigue. We address the problem of fatigue detection from biomechanical data from different sources, consisting of…
Wrist photoplethysmography (PPG) allows unobtrusive monitoring of the heart rate (HR). PPG is affected by the capillary blood perfusion and the pumping function of the heart, which generally deteriorate with age and due to presence of…
Fluctuations of the human heart beat constitute a complex system that has been studied mostly under resting conditions using conventional time series analysis methods. During physical exercise, the variability of the fluctuations is…
Coronary artery disease(CAD) is the most common type of heart disease and the leading cause of death worldwide[1]. A progressive state of this disease marked by plaque rupture and clot formation in the coronary arteries, also known as an…
With the advancements in graph neural network, there has been increasing interest in applying this network to ECG signal analysis. In this study, we generated an adjacency matrix using correlation matrix of extracted features and applied a…
We study the heartbeat activity of healthy individuals at rest and during exercise. We focus on correlation properties of the intervals formed by successive peaks in the pulse wave and find significant scaling differences between rest and…
Gait is an essential manifestation of depression. Laboratory gait characteristics have been found to be closely associated with depression. However, the gait characteristics of daily walking in real-world scenarios and their relationships…
Electrocardiography (ECG) signal is a highly applied measurement for individual heart condition, and much effort have been endeavored towards automatic heart arrhythmia diagnosis based on machine learning. However, traditional machine…
Cardiac arrhythmia, a condition characterized by irregular heartbeats, often serves as an early indication of various heart ailments. With the advent of deep learning, numerous innovative models have been introduced for diagnosing…
It has recently been observed that the occurrence of sudden cardiac death has a close statistical relationship with the time of day, viz., ventricular fibrillation is most likely to occur between 12 am-6 am, with 6 pm-12 am being the next…
Arrhythmia is just one of the many cardiovascular illnesses that have been extensively studied throughout the years. Using multi-lead ECG data, this research describes a deep learning (DL) pipeline technique based on convolutional neural…
