Machine Learning-based Efficient Ventricular Tachycardia Detection Model of ECG Signal [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 In primary diagnosis and analysis of heart defects, an ECG signal plays a significant role. This paper presents a model for the prediction of ventricular tachycardia arrhythmia using noise filtering, a unique set of ECG features, and a machine learning-based classifier model.

Semantic-aware Temporal Channel-wise Attention for Cardiac Function Assessment [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Cardiac function assessment aims at predicting left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) given an echocardiogram video, which requests models to focus on the changes in the left ventricle during the cardiac cycle. How to assess cardiac function accurately and automatically from an echocardiogram video is a valuable topic in intelligent assisted ...

Comorbid CAD and Ventricular Hypertrophy Compromise The Perfusion of Myocardial Tissue at Subcritical Stenosis of Epicardial Coronaries [PDF]
, 2018 BACKGROUND: Most studies of CAD revascularization have been based on and reported according to angiographic criteria which don't consider the relation between the resulting effective flow distal to the stenosis and the demand of a hypertrophied myocardial tissue.

A Statistical Index for Early Diagnosis of Ventricular Arrhythmia from the Trend Analysis of ECG Phase-portraits [PDF]
Physiological Measurement, vol. 36, no. 1, pp. 107-131, January
2015, 2016 In this paper, we propose a novel statistical index for the early diagnosis of ventricular arrhythmia (VA) using the time delay phase-space reconstruction (PSR) technique, from the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. Patients with two classes of fatal VA - with preceding ventricular premature beats (VPBs) and with no VPBs have been analysed using extensive
