- Abstract
- We suggest a sequential algorithm for the detection of the ventricular fibrillation (VF) and ventricular tachycardia (VT) of a rate above 180 bpm, so called shockable rhythms. The built-in algorithm for ECG analysis embedded in the portable bio-signal sensing module is aimed to discriminate between shockable and non-shockable rhythms and its accuracy is analyzed. An algorithm for VF/VT detection is proposed to analyze every 1 s ECG episode using the past 8 s episodes. The method is tested with 844,587 ECG episodes from the widely accepted databases. A sensitivity of 86.8 % and a specificity of 99.4 % were obtained and compared with the previous results.
