Combination of ECG parameters with support vector machines for the detection of life-threatening arrhythmias

Early detection of ventricular fibrillation (VF) and fast ventricular tachycardia (VT) is crucial for the success of the defibrillation therapy. A wide variety of detection algorithms have been proposed based on temporal, spectral, or complexity parameters extracted from the ECG. However, these algorithms are constructed by considering ea...More
