An arrhythmia detector and heart rate estimator for overnight polysomnography studies

IEEE Transactions on Bio-medical Engineering

Abstract

We present an algorithm for automatic on-line analysis of the electrocardiography (ECG) channel acquired during overnight polysomnography (PSG) studies. The system is independent of ECG morphology, requires no manual initialization, and operates automatically throughout the night. It highlights likely occurrences of arrhythmias and intervals of bad signal quality while outputting a continual estimate of heart rate. Algorithm performance is validated against standard ECG databases and PSG data. Results demonstrate a minimal false negative rate and a low false positive rate for arrhythmia detection, and robustness over a wide range of noise contamination.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.
