摘要:
One or more electrocardiographic signals are detected from a subject. The occurrence of alternans in the electrocardiographic signals are detected using one or more processors. One or more characteristics of detected alternans are determined. The determined characteristics of the detected alternans are analyzed to determine whether cardiac ischemia is present.
摘要:
Cardiac signal data of heart beats measured with an ambulatory electrocardiography device is accessed. The cardiac signal data is segmented into cardiac signal data segments such that each cardiac signal data segment includes cardiac signal data of sequential heart beats. Whether alternans is present in the cardiac signal data segment is determined for each of multiple cardiac signal data segments. Characteristics of the alternans is determined by analyzing cardiac signal data segments for which alternans is determined to be present or by analyzing characteristics of cardiac signal data segments for which alternans is determined to be present.
摘要:
First cardiac signal data generated from measured heart beats of a subject is received. Characteristics of alternans occurring in the received first cardiac signal data are determined. Second cardiac signal data generated from measured heart beats of the subject after a change relating to an administration of a pharmacological agent is received. Characteristics of alternans occurring in the received second cardiac signal data are determined. The characteristics of alternans occurring in the received first cardiac signal data are compared with the characteristics of alternans occurring in the received second cardiac signal data.

A method for identifying infants at risk for SIDS includes applying electrodes to an infant, receiving electrical signals from the electrodes, analyzing the received electrical signals to measure alternans of a heart of the infant, and identifying whether the infant is at risk for SIDS.A system for identifying infants at risk for SIDS includes an input unit configured to receive electrical signals from electrodes applied to an infant, a processor connected to the input unit and configured to process the received electrical signals to measure alternans of a heart of the infant, and a comparator configured to compare the measured alternans with alternans in a population of infants.

摘要:
A signal-based cable attenuation measurement device, system and methodology provides measurement of attenuation characteristics of a cable over a wide frequency spectrum. Located at a single location on a cable, a measurement device injects a signal on to the cable under measurement and receives the reflected signal, recording physical characteristics of the cable in response to the signal. A model, calibrated to estimate the effects of the cable with known impedances, evaluates the waveform generated from the cable's response to the signal and computes attenuation of the cable as a function of frequency. In some circumstances, when low signal-to-noise effects result, normally at high frequencies in long cables, the attenuation of the cable is further fitted to the model to correct the errors that occur as a result of the low signal-to-noise effects.
摘要:
Alternans is measured in a physiological signal, such as an electrocardiogram, by processing the physiological signal to create a processed signal having an asymmetric spectrum, and processing the processed signal to measure alternans in the physiologic signal. The physiological signal may be processed to produce an analytical signal by converting the signal to the frequency domain, removing components corresponding to negative frequencies, and converting back to the time domain.
