specific Embodiment approach 1

[0026] Specific Embodiment 1: This embodiment describes a method for detecting atrial fibrillation based on the time-frequency characteristics of single-lead ECG signals, which divides the original ECG signals into normal sinus rhythm, atrial fibrillation, other arrhythmias or excessive noise Four classes, described method comprises the steps:

[0027] Step 1: For the single-lead body surface ECG signal (the signal length is within the interval of 10 to 60 seconds), first perform a preprocessing operation to remove the baseline drift and part of the noise interference in the ECG signal;

[0028] Step 2: Calculate the change of signal energy in the time domain based on the sliding window method, and find the first window whose energy is not higher than the median value of the subsequent window energy. The corresponding part is removed from the signal, proceed to step 3; if the window does not exist, the signal is considered to be too noisy, and the detection process ends;

Abstract

A method for detecting atrial fibrillation based on the time-frequency characteristics of single-lead ECG signals belongs to the cross field of information processing technology and medical health. A notable feature of the present invention is to use the Pearson correlation coefficient to simply cluster the heartbeat waveforms within the same signal for single-lead ECG signals with relatively high noise, and then use the averaging method to eliminate the noise interference of the heartbeat waveforms , and then find out the representative heartbeat waveform of the signal, and then extract the time-frequency characteristics of the representative waveform based on the Matching Pursuits algorithm for the classification of the entire ECG signal. In addition, the present invention also integrates the characteristics of the RR interval (combining the heart rate variability characteristics and the time-frequency characteristics of the heartbeat waveform), so it has the characteristics of both methods based on atrial activity and ventricular response, and has a high accuracy rate , Very good robustness.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the intersection field of information processing technology and medical health, relates to a single-lead electrocardiographic signal classification method, and in particular to an atrial fibrillation detection method based on the time-frequency characteristics of the single-lead electrocardiographic signal. Background technique [0002] Atrial fibrillation (abbreviated as atrial fibrillation) is the most common persistent cardiac arrhythmia, with an incidence rate of 1-2% in the general population. With increasing age, the incidence of atrial fibrillation is also increasing, up to 10% of people over 75 years old. Atrial fibrillation can increase the risk of various diseases including sudden death, stroke, heart failure and coronary heart disease, and poses a serious threat to people's life and health. [0003] Because some atrial fibrillation is paroxysmal and may not have any obvious symptoms in the early stage, it is easy to...
