Abstract

A method for detecting heart rhythm irregularities, including the steps of: measuring pulse peaks continuously over a period of time to obtain pulse peak sequence and pulse peak time interval sequence corresponding to the pulse peak sequence; and calculating the absolute value of a difference between a single pulse peak time interval in the pulse peak time interval sequence and an average value of the pulse peak time interval sequence, and determining that an irregular pulse peak (IPP) has occurred if the absolute value is larger than or equal to 15% to 25% of the average value of the pulse peak time interval sequence. A detection device using the method is also provided. This uses a non-invasive approach to detect heart rhythm irregularities such as sick sinus syndrome, irregular pulse peaks, irregular heartbeat, and atrial fibrillation, and can be applied to a sphygmomanometer or a wearable device.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method and device for detecting heart rhythm irregularities. More particularly, the invention relates to a method and device that measure pulse peaks in order to detect an irregular pulse peak (IPP), irregular heartbeat (IHB), atrial fibrillation (AF), and sick sinus syndrome (SSS).2. Description of Related Art

[0002] The human circulatory system is composed of the heart, blood vessels, and blood, and is driven by contraction of the heart. Each time the heart contracts, the blood in the left ventricle is squeezed into the aorta and then into the other arteries in the body. As the diameter of an artery increases with the pressure therein when a large amount of blood enters the artery, the contraction and relaxation of the ventricles in a cardiac cycle causes arteries to expand and recoil (i.e., to pulsate) in a cyclic manner. The pulsation of arteries that are relatively close to the skin can be felt ...
