A Review on Atrial Fibrillation Detection From Ambulatory ECG
IEEE Transactions on Bio-Medical Engineering
|October 9, 2023
Summary
Early screening for atrial fibrillation (AF) is crucial for preventing stroke and heart failure. Wearable electrocardiograph (ECG) devices using AI and IoT offer effective AF detection, improving patient management.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Biomedical Engineering
- Digital Health
Background:
- Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia linked to stroke, heart failure, and sudden death.
- Subtle onset and lack of clear symptoms hinder optimal AF diagnosis and treatment.
- Early detection and screening are vital for effective AF management.
Conclusions:
- Ambulatory ECG monitoring using advanced technologies is essential for early AF detection.
- Addressing challenges in signal quality, QRS detection, and rhythm interference is key.
- Future directions involve refining devices, algorithms, and clinical applications for comprehensive AF care.

ECG Interpretation of Arrhythmias II: Atrial, Junctional and Ventricular Arrhythmias
25
Arrhythmia is a condition characterized by an irregular heart rhythm, with ECG changes that differ based on its origin and nature. The types of arrhythmias discussed below include atrial, junctional, and ventricular arrhythmias.Atrial ArrhythmiasPremature Atrial Complexes (PACs): PACs are early atrial beats caused by stress, caffeine, alcohol, electrolyte imbalances, hypoxia, hyperthyroidism, or certain medications (e.g., bronchodilators and decongestants). The ECG shows early P waves with an...

Pulse rhythm
817
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...

Electrocardiogram
2.4K
An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a critical diagnostic tool that records the electrical signals produced by the heart during each heartbeat. This recording is achieved through electrodes placed strategically on the arms, legs, and chest. The electrocardiograph amplifies these signals and produces 12 distinct tracings, offering a comprehensive understanding of the heart's electrical activity.
Three major waveforms are present in a typical ECG recording: the P wave, the QRS complex, and...

Holter Monitor: 24-Hour Monitoring
25
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...

Introduction
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.
Parts of an ECG
An ECG utilizes electrodes on the skin...
