Heterogeneous Recurrence Analysis of Disease-altered Spatiotemporal Patterns in Multi-Channel Cardiac Signals.

Heart diseases alter the rhythmic behaviors of cardiac electrical activity. Recent advances in sensing technology bring the ease to acquire space-time electrical activity of the heart such as vectorcardiogram (VCG) signals. Recurrence analysis of successive heartbeats is conducive to detect the disease-altered cardiac activities. However, conventional recurrence analysis is more concerned about ho...
