BACKGROUND: Heart rate variability (HRV) analysis computed on R-R interval series of ECG records with heavy burden of ectopic beats or non-sinus rhythm can significantly distort HRV parameters and hence clinically ineligible for HRV analysis. Yet, ex...
BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence-augmented ECG (AI-ECG) refers to the application of novel AI solutions for complex ECG interpretation tasks. A broad variety of AI-ECG approaches exist, each having differing advantages and limitations relating to ...
According to the STEMI paradigm, only patients whose ECGs meet STEMI criteria require immediate reperfusion. This leads to reperfusion delays and significantly increases the mortality for the quarter of "non-STEMI" patients with totally occluded arte...
BACKGROUND: Mobile Cardiac Outpatient Telemetry (MCOT) can be used to screen high risk patients for atrial fibrillation (AF). These devices rely primarily on algorithmic detection of AF events, which are then stored and transmitted to a clinician for...
INTRODUCTION: Signal-averaged electrocardiography is a non-invasive, computerized technique that amplifies, filters, and averages cardiac electrical signals reducing contaminating noise to obtain a high-resolution record. The most widely used signal ...
BACKGROUND: Patients with chest pain and persistent ST segment elevation (STE) may not have acute coronary occlusions or serum troponin curves suggestive of acute necrosis. Our objective is the validation and cost-effectiveness analysis of a diagnost...
Automated interpretation of the 12-lead ECG has remained an underpinning interest in decades of research that has seen a diversity of computing applications in cardiology. The application of computers in cardiology began in the 1960s with early resea...
BACKGROUND: Early detection and intervention is the cornerstone for appropriate treatment of arrhythmia and prevention of complications and mortality. Although diverse deep learning models have been developed to detect arrhythmia, they have been crit...
INTRODUCTION: Electrode misplacement and interchange errors are known problems when recording the 12‑lead electrocardiogram (ECG). Automatic detection of these errors could play an important role for improving clinical decision making and outcomes in...
