Abstract:
Multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis is applied to analyse the degree of disorders, complexity and irregularity based on scaling behaviour of electrocardiogram. Since this method is based on random walk theory, noise level due to imperfect measurement in recording is reduced and it can systematically eliminate trends of different orders. The essence of this method is to extract the fractal features in ECG which can reflect changes in adaptability of physiological processes and to classify the pathological conditions and can lead to successful diagnosis. Fractal analysis is, therefore, a promising diagnostic tool in cardiovascular disease diagnosis and evaluation.

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.

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...

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....
