Correlation between ECG and Cardiac Cycle01:25

Correlation between ECG and Cardiac Cycle

11.4K
The electrical signals recorded on an electrocardiogram (ECG) occur before the mechanical processes of contraction and relaxation during the 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...

Pulse rhythm01:30

Pulse rhythm

1.3K
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...

Factors Influencing Heart Rate01:30

Factors Influencing Heart Rate

6.0K
The heart rate, or pulse rate, is a vital indicator of cardiovascular health. It reflects the number of times the heart beats per minute. Various physiological and environmental factors influence heart rate, increasing or decreasing cardiac output. Understanding these factors is crucial for assessing heart function and identifying potential health issues.
Let us explore the significant factors affecting heart rate, including age, body temperature, posture, acute pain, chemical influences,...

Assessment of blood pressure in brachial artery(two-step method)

1.4K
Measuring blood pressure is a fundamental skill in healthcare that aids in diagnosing and monitoring hypertension and other cardiovascular conditions. An aneroid sphygmomanometer, commonly used in clinical settings, offers a manual and precise method for blood pressure measurement. The technique for using this instrument involves specific steps that must be carefully executed to ensure accuracy. The following detailed description outlines a two-step technique for assessing blood pressure using...

Holter Monitor: 24-Hour Monitoring01:23

Holter Monitor: 24-Hour Monitoring

1.6K
Holter monitoring is a continuous electrocardiography (ECG) recording that tracks the heart's electrical activity over an extended period, generally 24 to 48 hours. This noninvasive diagnostic tool detects irregular heart rhythms that may not be captured during a standard ECG performed in a clinical setting.DeviceThe Holter monitor is a portable, small device connected to several electrodes on the patient's chest. These electrodes detect the heart's electrical signals and transmit them to the...

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Signal Processing
    • Wearable Technology

    Background:

    • Motion artifacts significantly degrade the accuracy of physiological parameter estimation (e.g., interbeat interval, heart rate variability) from wearable sensors.
    • Robust algorithms are crucial for reliable cardiac monitoring in free-living environments, especially during physical activity.
    • Existing techniques for interbeat interval (IBI) and heart rate variability (HRV) estimation often fail under noisy conditions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel, robust approach for estimating physiological parameters like interbeat interval (IBI) and heart rate variability (HRV) from cardiac signals affected by motion artifacts.
    • To enhance the accuracy and reliability of cardiac monitoring using wearable sensors in real-world scenarios.
    • To address the challenges posed by noise in physiological signal processing.

    Main Methods:

    • A combinatorial technique models heartbeat detection as a shortest path search on a directed acyclic graph, utilizing signal morphology and temporal continuity.
    • The graph construction leverages candidate morphological features and interbeat intervals (IBIs) to represent heartbeats.
    • A fusion technique combines IBI/HRV estimations derived from multiple morphological features via the shortest path algorithm for improved accuracy.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed method demonstrates high correlation between estimated and ground truth interbeat intervals (IBIs) (r = 0.89).
    • Estimated heart rate variability (HRV) parameters show strong correlation with true HRV values.
    • The fusion technique, integrating diverse morphological features, yielded at least a 3% higher correlation coefficient compared to single-feature methods.

    Conclusions:

    • The novel shortest path graph-based approach provides robust estimation of IBI and HRV from motion-corrupted cardiac signals.
    • The fusion technique significantly enhances the accuracy of physiological parameter estimation by leveraging multiple signal characteristics.
    • This method enables more reliable cardiac monitoring with wearable sensors during physical activities and in daily life.
