Abstract:
ECG signals have their own inherent orbit as a nonlinear attractor, but for patients with pacemaker, the pacemaker electrical pulse may disturb this natural inherent process and change the natural normal sinus beat ECG attractor. ECG signals of different leads come from the same ECG attractor, they should have the same dimension, whereas it is not true in our experiment. Using nonlinear dynamics techniques such as correlation dimension (CD) can probe the nonlinear property variation of multi-lead ECG. The CDs of 2 leads every 6 second ECG segments from several recordings of MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database are calculated, including 4 paced recordings. Results show that CDs of different leads ECG signals have significant difference although they come from the same ECG attractors. The paced ECG signals have less complicated properties than normal sinus ECG.

01:25Correlation between ECG and Cardiac Cycle
A cardiac action potential originates in the SA node and spreads throughout the atria and the AV node in approximately 0.03 seconds. This results in the P wave in an ECG and triggers atrial contraction. The action potential is then briefly slowed at the AV node, allowing the atria to contract and fill the ventricles with blood before...

An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a diagnostic tool for identifying cardiac conditions such as arrhythmias, conduction abnormalities, and myocardial ischemia.
Definition
An electrocardiogram (ECG) visualizes the heart's electrical activity by tracing the electrical movement associated with each heartbeat on a graph or monitor. As the heart beats, an electrical wave passes through it, correlating with the cardiac cycle events.

Components of the Electrocardiogram
The primary components of a normal ECG waveform in Normal sinus rhythm(NSR) include the P wave, PR interval, QRS complex, ST segment, T wave, and occasionally a U wave.
ECG waveforms are divided by vertical and horizontal lines at standard intervals.
The horizontal axis measures time and rate, and the vertical axis measures amplitude or voltage. When...
