Anticipation of ventricular tachyarrhythmias by a novel mathematical method: Further insights towards an early warning system in implantable cardioverter defibrillators
Abstract:Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) are the most effective therapy to terminate malignant ventricular arrhythmias (VA) and therefore to prevent sudden cardiac death. Until today, there is no way to predict the onset of such VA. Our aim was to develop a mathematical model that could predict VA in a timely fashion. We analyzed the time series of R-R intervals from 3 groups. Two groups from the Spontaneous Ventricular Tachyarrhythmia Database (v 1.0) were analyzed from a set of 81 pairs of R-R interval … Show more
