Testing The Heart Rate Coherence Function For Detecting And Identifying Atrial Fibrillation

Abstract

The article proposed the method of using coherence functions for a sequence of RR intervals, which make it possible with high accuracy to determine the onset of atrial fibrillation. This type of heart disease is one of the potentially lethal and its occurs mostly hidden. However, atrial fibrillation increases the risk of stroke by 6-8 times. This method does not require the exchange of large amounts of data and can be used in wearable cardiomonitoring devices.
