Correlation between ECG and Cardiac Cycle01:25

Correlation between ECG and Cardiac Cycle

7.4K
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...

Factors Influencing Heart Rate01:30

Factors Influencing Heart Rate

2.9K
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,...

Disturbances in Heart Rhythm01:28

Disturbances in Heart Rhythm

1.0K
Arrhythmia or dysrhythmia refers to an abnormal heart rhythm caused by a defect in the heart's conduction system. It can cause the heart to beat irregularly, too quickly, or too slowly, leading to symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, and fainting. Factors such as stress, caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, cocaine, certain drugs, congenital defects, diseases, and electrolyte abnormalities can trigger arrhythmias.
Arrhythmias are categorized by their speed, rhythm, and origin. A slow...

Regulation of Heart Rates01:31

Regulation of Heart Rates

1.9K
The regulation of heart rate is a complex process controlled by the autonomic nervous system (ANS), hormonal influences, and intrinsic cardiac mechanisms. The ANS has two main components: the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS).
The SNS increases heart rate through the release of norepinephrine and epinephrine, which act on beta-1 adrenergic receptors in the heart. This action increases the rate of depolarization in the sinoatrial (SA) node, the heart's...

Pulse rhythm01:30

Pulse rhythm

849
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:

  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Cardiovascular Health
  • Wearable Technology

Background:

  • Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a leading global cause of death, with risk factors including lifestyle choices and conditions like diabetes.
  • Wearable devices collect physiological data, such as heart rate, offering potential for CVD monitoring and prevention.
  • Current wearable data often lacks immediate user comprehension of health risks, necessitating advanced analytics.

  • To develop an unsupervised anomaly detection model for heart rate data from wearable devices.
  • To enhance the interpretation of wearable-collected physiological data for early CVD risk identification.
  • To provide users with more accessible and actionable health insights from their wearable devices.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a disentangled variational autoencoder (β-VAE) with a bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) network.
  • Applied the model to unsupervised anomaly detection in heart rate data collected during sleep from eight participants.
  • Tested the model using mean heart rate data sampled at 30-second and 1-minute intervals.
