This chapter provides an overview of ECG lead systems and commercial devices for atrial
fibrillation monitoring, with special emphasis on devices using few leads. The rapid …

Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is a common cardiac arrhythmia which, if left untreated, can lead to
ischaemic stroke. A number of low cost hand held devices which use a single lead I ECG to …

For over a century, electrocardiology has been observing human cardiac activity through
recordings of electrocardiograms (ECG). The potential differences derived from the nine …

Technologic development of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) is now in an
exponential growth phase, and many new concepts are being examined. Major innovations …

Background When using a reduced ECG lead system with three leads or less, the analysis
of atrial activity during arrhythmias can become problematic due to low signal amplitude and …

Every year cardiovascular diseases kill the highest number of people worldwide. Among
these, pathologies characterized by sporadic symptoms, such as atrial fibrillation, are difficult …

Objective: Point of care ECG devices can improve the early detection of atrial fibrillation (AF).
The efficiency of such devices depends on the capability of automatic AF detection against …

This study compares the performance of three detection algorithms for the recognition of
atrial fibrillation in chronic pacing leads. Multiple serial recordings were obtained of …

This issue of the Journal is devoted to the important topic of electrocardiographic (ECG)
leads and comprises a compendium of articles assembled from presentations given at …

A study was performed to determine the feasibility of a miniature, low-power ECG monitor
capable of real time, automatic detection of atrial fibrillation. An original arrhythmia detection …
