This paper presents a method to classify different subtypes of atrial fibrillation episodes by analyzing short segments of electrocardiograms. We will process surface ECGs segments by time-frequency transforms to extract relevant features that will be used as input to a neural network classifier. As atrial fibrillation presents a progressive nature, this method can be a very useful tool in order to differentiate the progress of the arrythmia in each patient.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
