Recent advancements in smart, wearable technologies have allowed the detection of various medical conditions. In particular, continuous collection and real-time analysis of electrocardiogram data have enabled the early identification of pathologic cardiac rhythms. Various algorithms to assess cardiac rhythms have been developed, but these utilize excessive computational power. Therefore, adoption to mobile platforms requires more computationally efficient algorithms that do not sacrifice correctness. This study presents a modified QRS detection algorithm, the AccYouRate Modified Pan-Tompkins (AMPT), which is a simplified version of the well-established Pan-Tompkins algorithm. Using archived ECG data from a variety of publicly available datasets, relative to the Pan-Tompkins, the AMPT algorithm demonstrated improved computational efficiency by 5-20×, while also universally enhancing correctness, both of which favor translation to a mobile platform for continuous, real-time QRS detection.

Aims: To objectively characterize the spatial-velocity dynamics of the QRS-loop in the vectorcardiogram (VCG) of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
Methods: VCG was constructed as a space curve directly with three quasi-orthogonal leads I, aVF and V2 recorded by conventional ECG of 25 healthy individuals and 50 AMI patients. Spatial velocity (SV) of the dynamic QRS loop, spatial distance (SD), and spatial magnitude (SM) were recorded, along with axis-specific component attributes of vector magnitude such as ΔX, ΔY, and ΔZ.

The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a vital device to examine the electrical activities of the heart. It is useful for diagnosing cardiovascular diseases, which often manifest themselves through alterations in the ECG signals' characteristics. These alterations are primarily observed in the signals' key components: the Q, R, S, T, and P peaks.

Background: Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is the most common form of arrhythmia in the world with a prevalence of 1%-2%. AF is also associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), such as stroke, heart failure, and coronary artery diseases, making it a leading cause of death. Asymptomatic patients are a common case (30%-40%).

Introduction: Early detection of cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) is crucial due to its association with severe complications such as ventricular arrhythmias, heart failure, and sudden cardiac death. Advanced imaging techniques like cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) and 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (FDG-PET/CT) are effective in detecting CS but not easily accessible. The optimal method for selecting patients for advanced screening remains uncertain.
