Clinical Validation of a Capacitive Electrocardiogram Cushion Utilized for Arrhythmias Monitoring
IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement(2023)
摘要
Textile capacitively coupled (CC) electrodes have the potential of being integrated into home textiles to realize long-term cardiac surveillance, since they are more comfortable and convenient than conventional contact electrodes. Previous study mainly focused on the measurement performance of CC-based electrocardiogram (ECG) devices, but the diagnostic value of these novel devices, such as capability of supporting preliminary arrhythmia diagnosis, has not been investigated comprehensively. In this study, we proposed a CC-based ECG cushion and assessed measurement performance and diagnostic value by a clinical test on four healthy people (HP) and seven arrhythmia patients (AP). In addition to precise measurement of critical ECG structures (true positive rate (TPR) of R waves: 0.994 +/- 0.006 and mean absolute error (MAE) of RR intervals: 1.690 +/- 1.331 ms), the proposed cushion can provide valuable information, comparable with the Holter, for cardiologists to distinguish the normal beats, ventricular beats, and premature supraventricular contractions during long-term monitoring. In conclusion, the proposed cushion is verified to provide enough signal details for preliminary diagnosis of arrhythmia, as a promising system for disease screen and danger alarm of arrhythmia in certain scenario of long-term cardiac surveillance at home.
