A one-class approach to cardiotocogram assessment
Abstract:
Cardiotocogram (CTG) is the most widely used means for the assessment of fetal condition. CTG consists of two traces one depicting the Fetal Heart Rate (FHR), and the other the Uterine Contractions (UC) activity. Many automatic methods have been proposed for the interpretation of the CTG. Most of them rely either on a binary classification approach or on a multiclass approach to come up with a decision about the class that the tracing belongs to. This work investigates the use of a one-class approach to the assessment of CTGs building a model only for the healthy data. The preliminary results are promising indicating that normal traces could be used as part of an automatic system that can detect deviations from normality.

Electrocardiogram Fundamentals
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.

An ECG utilizes electrodes on the skin...
Correlation 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....
