Description
Abstract - This is a preliminary study that explores ideal lead placements for quantification of atrial fibrillation. Data was collected at the Rochester Cardiopulmonary Group where two Atrial Fibrillation (AF) patients were monitored for one hour using a 12-lead Holter Recording setup. Lead placement was different than the clinical ECG lead placement. Two leads were placed at V1 and V2 followed by 5 leads to the left of the sternum and 5 to the right. For every lead pairing, the Shannon entropy as well as the Dominant Frequency of the bipolar signal were calculated and then compared based upon the lead locations (left only, right only, left and right). The results suggest that a reduced lead setup from a left-right combination could allow for an ambulatory AF detection device while preserving AF detection accuracy.
