Abstract

Detection methods for atrial tachycardia and atrial fibrillation on the time axis have the advantages of light operational load and are easy to apply to various applications. Despite these advantages, arrhythmia detection algorithm on the time axis cannot stand much noise such as motion artifacts, moreover the peak detection algorithm has high complexity. In this paper, we use a spectrum analysis method for the detection of atrial tachycardia and atrial fibrillation. By applying spectrum analysis and digital filtering on obtained electrogram signals, we can diagnose heart arrhythmia without using peak detection algorithm.
