Article Synopsis
- - Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common heart rhythm disorder, and there are new methods for assessing it, focusing on complex fractionated atrial electrograms (CFAEs) to differentiate between two types of AF: paroxysmal (ParAF) and persistent (PerAF).
- - Previous studies have not accurately measured the quality and stability of CFAE signals over time and in different locations, which can lead to unreliable assessments and hinder AF treatment.
- - This research utilizes specific nonlinear indices (like dominant frequency and sample entropy) to evaluate CFAE stability and develop a simple classification model that effectively distinguishes between ParAF and PerAF, achieving better performance through techniques like correlation matrix filters and Random Forests.
