Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation recognition based on multi-scale wavelet α-entropy.
Biomedical Engineering Online 2017 October 24
BACKGROUND: This study proposed an effective method based on the wavelet multi-scale α-entropy features of heart rate variability (HRV) for the recognition of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF). This new algorithm combines wavelet decomposition and non-linear analysis methods. The PAF signal, the signal distant from PAF, and the normal sinus signals can be identified and distinguished by extracting the characteristic parameters from HRV signals and analyzing their quantification indexes. The original ECG signals for QRS detection and HRV signal extraction are first processed. The features from the HRV signals are extracted as feature vectors using the wavelet multi-scale entropy. A support vector machine-based classifier is used for PAF prediction.
RESULTS: The performance of the proposed method in predicting PAF episodes is evaluated with 100 signals from the MIT-BIT PAF prediction database. With regard to the dynamics and uncertainty of PAF signals, our proposed method obtains the values of 92.18, 94.88, and 89.48% for the evaluation criteria of correct rate, sensitivity, and specificity, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS: Our proposed method presents better results than the existing studies based on time domain, frequency domain, and non-linear methods. Thus, our method shows considerable potential for clinical monitoring and treatment.
