BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the common cardiovascular diseases, and electrocardiography (ECG) is a key indicator for the detection and diagnosis of AF and other heart diseases. In this study, an improved machine learn...
Early defibrillation by an automated external defibrillator (AED) is key for the survival of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients. ECG feature extraction and machine learning have been successfully used to detect ventricular fibrillation (V...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Apnea is one of the most common conditions that causes sleep-disorder breathing. With growing number of patients worldwide, more and more patients suffer from complications of apnea. But most of them stay untreated due to th...
The interpretation of various cardiovascular blood flow abnormalities can be identified using Electrocardiogram (ECG). The predominant anomaly due to the blood flow dynamics leads to the occurrence of cardiac arrhythmias in the cardiac system. In thi...
