The correlation analysis of the epicardial signals by Shannon entropy / 中国医疗器械杂志

ABSTRACT

This paper applied the Shannon Entropy based on the cross correlation to analyze the epicardial signals from anterior wall of the canine atria. The result demonstrated that during sinus rhythm, the stability level of the correlation among signals from anterior right atria is much higher than the signals from anterior left atria. All the signals from the anterior wall descended when the rhythm changed from sinus rhythm to atrial fibrillation(AF). However, there were some regions still having a stable correlation during AF. The results will be helpful to enhance understanding of the correlation characteristic of AF.
