Electrocardiogram alterations in non-traumatic brain injury: a systematic review
AbstractThe presence of abnormal electrocardiograms in individuals without known organic heart disease is one of the most common manifestations of cardiac dysfunction occurring during acute non traumatic brain injury. The primary goal of the present review is to provide an overview of the available data and literature regarding the presence of new-onset electrocardiographic (ECG) alterations in acute non traumatic brain injury. The secondary aim is to identify the incidence of ECG alterations and consider the prognostic significance of new-onset ECG changes in this setting. To do so, English language articles from January ...

A stacked LSTM for atrial fibrillation prediction based on multivariate ECGs
AbstractAtrial fibrillation (AF) is an irregular and rapid heart rate that can increase the risk of various heart-related complications, such as the stroke and the heart failure. Electrocardiography (ECG) is widely used to monitor the health of heart disease patients. It can dramatically improve the health and the survival rate of heart disease patients by accurately predicting the AFs in an ECG. Most of the existing researches focus on the AF detection, but few of them explore the AF prediction. In this paper, we develop a recurrent neural network (RNN) composed of stacked LSTMs for AF prediction, which called SLAP. This ...

Cuffless Blood Pressure Estimation Using Pulse Transit Time and Photoplethysmogram Intensity Ratio.
Authors: Gholamhosseini H, Baig M, Rastegar S, Lindén M Abstract High blood pressure (BP) is one of the common risk factors for heart disease, stroke, congestive heart failure, and kidney disease. An accurate, continuous and cuffless BP monitoring technique could help clinicians improve the rate of prevention, detection, and treatment of hypertension and related diseases. Pulse transit time (PTT) has attracted interest as an index of BP changes for cuffless BP measurement techniques. Currently, PPT-based BP measurement approaches have improved and are able to relieve the discomfort associated with an inflated cuff...
