Detection of sinus arrhythmia and atrial arrhythmia based on base-scale entropy / 生物医学工程学杂志

ABSTRACT

As is known in literature, the Base-scale Entropy Measure is useful for analyzing short-term heart rate variability signals. In this study, the method is applied to detect cardiac arrhythmias, including sinus and atrial arrhythmia. We detect and analyze normal sinus rhythm (NSR), atrial premature contraction (APC) and sinus bradycardia (SBR) signals. The selected data of NSR are obtained from the MIT-BIH normal sinus database, while others are from the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database. The results show the Base-scale Entropy can also detect sinus and atrial arrhythmia.
