Automated Detection of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation Using an Information-Based Similarity Approach

Abstract: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an abnormal rhythm of the heart, which can increase heart-related complications. Paroxysmal AF episodes occur intermittently with varying duration. Human-based diagnosis of paroxysmal AF with a longer-term electrocardiogram recording is time-consuming. Here we present a fully automated ensemble model for AF episode detection based on RR-interval time series, applying a novel approach of information-based similarity analysis and ensemble scheme. By mapping RR-interval time series to … Show more

“…In [37] the changes in RR duration during the sequence have been represented as the binary words, where value of 1 corresponds to increase of interval duration, and 0 means no change or a decrease. Then, the testing segment is classified by comparing its information-based dissimilarity index with those obtained for the templates of AF episode and normal sinus rhythm.…”

“…It can also include normalized RR intervals [29,30] or normalized RR differences [31], Shannon entropy [19] or coefficient of sample entropy [15,32]. Other form to present the RR irregularity are: the density histogram of the difference between successive RR intervals [33,34], map that plots RR intervals versus change of RR intervals [35], mapping the RR-interval time series to binary symbolic sequences [36,37] or Markov score of RR interval [16]. form to present the RR irregularity are: the density histogram of the difference between successive RR intervals [33,34], map that plots RR intervals versus change of RR intervals [35], mapping the RR-interval time series to binary symbolic sequences [36,37] or Markov score of RR interval [16].…”

“…One of the other key issues in AF detection methods is their poor performance in detecting AF episodes in short signal recordings (i.e., less than 30-s). While the majority of the stateof-the-art algorithms require a 30-s episode or at least 127/128 beats to achieve an acceptable detection performance [26], [27], [22], [28], our proposed method offers great performance on very short ECG segments of size 5-s which inhere are less than a 7-beats window.…”
