Correlation between ECG and Cardiac Cycle

Correlation between ECG and Cardiac Cycle

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...

Stages of Sleep

Stages of Sleep

Sleep progresses through distinct stages, each characterized by specific brain wave patterns and physiological responses ranging from wakefulness to stages of non-rapid eye movement, known as non-REM, to rapid eye movement, referred to as REM. Understanding these stages helps in recognizing how sleep supports various bodily and cognitive functions.
Before sleep begins, in wakefulness, the brain exhibits primarily beta waves, which are high in frequency and low in amplitude, indicating alertness...

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...

Area of Science:

Neuroscience
Biomedical Engineering
Computer Science

Background:

Autonomic nervous system regulates heart rate fluctuations.
Autonomic nervous system activity is crucial during human sleep.
Heart rate variability (HRV) can be utilized for sleep staging.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and compare automatic sleep staging models using HRV.
To evaluate the efficacy of different neural networks for sleep staging based solely on HRV.
To determine the suitability of HRV-based sleep staging for home use.

Main Methods:

Constructed three end-to-end automatic sleep staging models: FCN, CNN, and LSTM.
Utilized two independent public datasets comprising HRV sequences.
Classified four sleep stages: Wake (W), Light Sleep (LS), Slow-Wave Sleep (SWS), and Rapid Eye Movement (REM).

Main Results:

CNN demonstrated the best classification performance among the evaluated models.
CNN achieved high precision rates for W (88.31%), REM (98.07%), LS (81.16%), and SWS (99.36%).
Average accuracy, F1 score, and Kappa statistic for CNN were 91.72%, 0.8850, and 0.8844 ± 0.0095, respectively.

Conclusions:

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) can effectively perform sleep staging using only HRV signals.
HRV-based sleep staging using CNNs is a viable method for sleep detection in home environments.
This approach offers a non-invasive and potentially more accessible method for sleep monitoring.
