Complexity analysis of pathological ECG signal based on Jensen-Shannon divergence
Objective Algorithm research on high-speed diagnosis of pathological ECG is one of the current research hotspots in clinical diagnosis. Methods In this paper, complexity measure based on Jensen-Shannon divergence was used to compute complexity of the ECG signals, which include normal sinus rhythm, atrial premature contraction (APC) and sinus bradycardia (SBR) signals from the MIT-BIH standard database. Results The results showed that the three kinds of signals had different complexity measures. Normal sinus rhythm had the highest complexity, followed by SBR signals and APC signals. The variance test indicated that this analysis could disclose the significant differences among these three signals' complexity. Conclusions This complexity analysis based on Jensen-Shannon divergence is a good reference for clinical detection and diagnosis of APC and SBR signals.
