Fetal Circulation01:14

Fetal Circulation

1.1K
Fetal circulation is a unique system that facilitates the exchange of gases, nutrients, and waste products between the developing fetus and the mother. This intricate process takes place through a special organ called the placenta.
Two umbilical arteries transport blood from the fetus to the placenta. At the placenta, the blood absorbs oxygen and nutrients while simultaneously eliminating waste products. This oxygen-enriched and nutrient-rich blood then returns to the fetus through one...

Correlation between ECG and Cardiac Cycle01:25

Correlation between ECG and Cardiac Cycle

6.9K
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...

First Order Systems

121
First-order systems, such as RC circuits, are foundational in understanding dynamic systems due to their straightforward input-output relationship. Analyzing their responses to different input functions under zero initial conditions reveals significant insights into system behavior.
When a first-order system is subjected to a unit-step input, its response is characterized by its transfer function. By applying the Laplace transform of the unit-step input to the transfer function, expanding the...

ECG Interpretation of Rhythms

1.3K
An electrocardiogram (ECG)graphically represents the heart's electrical activity on ECG paper or a monitor.
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....

Difference Equation Solution using z-Transform01:24

Difference Equation Solution using z-Transform

327
The z-transform is a powerful tool for analyzing practical discrete-time systems, often represented by linear difference equations. Solving a higher-order difference equation requires knowledge of the input signal and the initial conditions up to one term less than the order of the equation.
The z-transform facilitates handling delayed signals by shifting the signal in the z-domain, which corresponds to delaying the signal in the time domain, and advancing signals by similarly shifting in the...

Second Order systems II01:18

Second Order systems II

130
In an underdamped second-order system, where the damping ratio ζ is between 0 and 1, a unit-step input results in a transfer function that, when transformed using the inverse Laplace method, reveals the output response. The output exhibits a damped sinusoidal oscillation, and the difference between the input and output is termed the error signal. This error signal also demonstrates damped oscillatory behavior. Eventually, as the system reaches a steady state, the error diminishes to zero.

  • The mPT algorithm utilizes optimal fractional order derivative and moving average filter window width.
  • Algorithm performance was evaluated on PhysioNet Computing in Cardiology Challenge database signals.
  • FHR detection was performed on segments selected based on SNR estimation and manual selection.

Main Results:

  • The mPT method achieved high accuracy, with an average sensitivity of 97% and positive predictive value of 97%.
  • An error rate of approximately 3.5% and an F1 score of 97% were recorded.
  • Optimal parameters identified were a fractional order of 0.51 and a moving average filter window width of 24.5 ms.

  • The proposed mPT algorithm demonstrates satisfactory performance for FHR detection.
  • The mPT method shows potential for broader applications in noisy biomedical signal analysis.
  • Further adaptations could enhance peak detection in various challenging signal environments.
