Apoio à decisão na detecção de flutter e fibrilação ventricular em eletrocardiograma

Abstract

Computer-based decision support is an important tool in business and management areas, being today essential for medical diagnosis. This dissertation presents a new electrocardiogram ventricular flutter and fibrillation detector algorithm, named DALUZ, and comparing its quality evaluation with seven other ventricular fibrillation detection algorithms. The evaluation was based on two of the three recommended electrocardiogram standard databases for this purpose. The results show that it is useful to provide decision support for biomedical equipment such as defibrillators and heart monitors to ventricular fibrillation diagnoses.
