Pulse rhythm

Pulse rhythm

Pulse rhythm refers to the pattern of pulsations within specific intervals, offering valuable insights into the regularity or irregularity of the heart's beats as observed through the pattern of pulsation within specific intervals. A regular pulse exhibits a consistent heart rate with uniform waveforms and pulsation force, variations of which can be classified as normal, weak, or bounding.
Conversely, an irregular pulse pattern is termed dysrhythmia, stemming from disruptions in cardiac muscle...

Electrocardiogram

Electrocardiogram

An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a critical diagnostic tool that records the electrical signals produced by the heart during each heartbeat. This recording is achieved through electrodes placed strategically on the arms, legs, and chest. The electrocardiograph amplifies these signals and produces 12 distinct tracings, offering a comprehensive understanding of the heart's electrical activity.
Three major waveforms are present in a typical ECG recording: the P wave, the QRS complex, and the T...

Background:

Wireless body sensor networks (WBSN) are crucial for patient-centric telecardiology, enabling continuous remote cardiac monitoring.
Current WBSN-enabled ECG monitors lack sufficient functionality, miniaturization, and energy efficiency for widespread adoption.
Improving energy efficiency via embedded ECG compression is vital to reduce power consumption during wireless data transmission.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the potential of compressed sensing (CS) for low-complexity, energy-efficient ECG compression within WBSN systems.
To compare the energy efficiency of CS-based ECG compression against traditional digital wavelet transform (DWT) methods on a Shimmer WBSN mote.

Main Methods:

Quantified the energy efficiency of the compressed sensing (CS) signal acquisition/compression paradigm.
Implemented and tested CS-based ECG compression on a state-of-the-art Shimmer WBSN mote.
Compared CS performance against digital wavelet transform (DWT)-based ECG compression for various reconstruction qualities.

Main Results:

Compressed sensing (CS) demonstrated competitive energy efficiency for ECG compression in WBSN compared to DWT.
While CS showed slightly inferior compression performance for a given signal quality, its lower complexity and CPU time resulted in better overall energy efficiency.
CS-based ECG compression achieved a 37.1% longer node lifetime than DWT for 'good' reconstruction quality.

Conclusions:

Compressed sensing (CS) is a viable and energy-efficient alternative for ECG compression in WBSN-based remote cardiac monitoring.
The reduced complexity of CS significantly enhances the operational lifetime of WBSN nodes, supporting prolonged patient monitoring.
CS-based ECG compression offers a promising solution for improving the practicality and sustainability of mobile cardiology applications.
