Detection of atrial fibrillation episodes in long-term heart rhythm signals using a support vector machine [PDF]

, 2020
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a serious heart arrhythmia leading to a significant increase of the risk for occurrence of ischemic stroke. Clinically, the AF episode is recognized in an electrocardiogram.
