Abstract:
As is known in literature, the Base-scale Entropy Measure is useful for analyzing short-term heart rate variability signals. In this study, the method is applied to detect cardiac arrhythmias, including sinus and atrial arrhythmia. We detect and analyze normal sinus rhythm (NSR), atrial premature contraction (APC) and sinus bradycardia (SBR) signals. The selected data of NSR are obtained from the MIT-BIH normal sinus database, while others are from the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database. The results show the Base-scale Entropy can also detect sinus and atrial arrhythmia.

Sinus Node Arrhythmias
Sinus Bradycardia: Originating from the sinoatrial (SA) node, sinus bradycardia involves slower impulses, resulting in a heart rate of less than 60 beats per minute (bpm). Causes include sleep, vagal stimulation, beta-blockers, hypothyroidism, and...
