We investigated technological trends in an electrocardiogram (ECG)-based biometric cryptosystem that uses physiological features of ECG signals to provide personally identifiable cryptographic key generation and authentication services. The following technical details of the cryptosystem were investigated and analyzed: preprocessing of ECG signals, extraction of personally identifiable features, generation of quantified encryption keys from ECG signals, reproduction of ECG encryption keys under time-varying noise, and new security applications based on ECG signals. The cryptosystem can be used as a security technology to protect users from hacking, information leakage, and malfunctioning attacks in wearable/implantable medical devices, wireless body area networks, and mobile healthcare services.

A novel heart beat interval estimation algorithm is presented based on parabola approximation method. This paper presented a two-step processing scheme; a first stage is finding R-peak in the Electrocardiogram (ECG) by Shannon energy envelope estimator and a secondary stage is computing the interpolated peak location by parabola approximation. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm performs better than with the previous method using low sampled ECG signals.

Objectives : Oriental medical doctors usually use the three-finger pulse diagnosis method to observe disease. Since it is difficult to diagnose ischemic heart disease (IHD) objectively by this diagnostic method, we performed the study to diagnose it as soon as possible by using Yuk Bu Jung Wee Jin Mac(六部定位診脈) and electrocardiogram(ECG). Methods : Patients who had abdominal discomfort were observed by Yuk Bu Jung Wee Jin Mac(六部定位診脈) and we presumed they had heart disease and checked them with electrocardiogram(ECG). Results : We diagnosed it early by using Yuk Bu Jung Wee Jin Mac(六部定位診脈) and electrocardiogram (ECG). Conclusions : The study suggests that it is easy to diagnose IHD early using Yuk Bu Jung Wee Jin Mac(六部定位診脈) and ECG. More data related to IHD is needed.

This paper is about a personal identification algorithm using an ECG that has been studied by a few researchers recently. Previously published algorithm can be classified as two methods. One is the method that analyzes of ECG features and the other is the morphological analysis of ECG. The main characteristic of proposed algorithm can be classified the method of analysis ECG features. Proposed algorithm adopts DSTW(Down Slope Trace Wave) for extracting ECG features, and applies SVM(Support Vector Machine) to training and testing as a classifier algorithm. We choose 18 ECG files from MIT-BIH Normal Sinus Rhythm Database for estimating of algorithm performance. The algorithm extracts 100 heartbeats from each ECG file, and use 40 heartbeats for training and 60 heartbeats for testing. The proposed algorithm shows clearly superior performance in all ECG data, amounting to 93.89% heartbeat recognition rate and 100% ECG recognition rate.

심전도(electrocardiogram, ECG)는 심박동의 속도와 규칙성, 심실의 크기와 위치, 심장 손상 여부를 측정하는데 사용되며, 모든 심장질환의 원인을 찾아낼 수 있다. ECG-KIT를 이용하여 획득한 ECG 신호는 ECG 신호에 잡음을 포함하기 때문에 딥러닝에 적용하기 위해서는 ECG 신호에서 잡음을 제거해야만 한다. 본 논문에서는, ECG 신호에서 잡음은 Digital IIR Butterworth의 저역 통과 필터를 이용하여 제거하였다. LSTM의 딥러닝 모델을 사용하여 3가지 활성화 함수인 sigmoid(), ReLU(), tanh() 함수에 대한 성능 평가를 비교했을 때, 오차가 가장 작은 활성화 함수는 tanh() 함수 임을 확인하였으며, 또한 LSTM과 GRU 모델에 대한 성능 평가와 경과 시간을 비교한 결과 GRU 모델이 LSTM 모델보다 우수한 것을 확인하였다.

In ubiquitous computing environment the biological signal ECG (Electrocardiogram signal) is usually recorded with noise components. Adaptive interference (or noise) canceller do adaptive filtering of the noise reference input to maximally match and subtract out noise or interference from the primary (signal plus noise) input thereby adaptively eliminate unwanted interference from the ECG signal. Measured Stress ECG (or exercise ECG signal) signal have three major noisy component like baseline wander noise, motion artifact noise and EMG (Electro-mayo-cardiogram) noise. These noises are not only distorted signal but also root of incorrect diagnosis while ECG data are analyzed. Motion artifact and EMG noises behave like wide band spectrum signals, and they considerably do overlapping with the ECG spectrum. Here the multidimensional adaptive method used for filtering which is more effective to improve signal to noise ratio.

In this paper, we propose an effective compression method for electrocardiogram(ECG) signals. 1-D ECG signals are reconstructed to 2-D ECG data by period and complexity sorting schemes with image compression techniques to Increase inter and intra-beat correlation. The proposed method added block division and mean-period normalization techniques on top of conventional 2-D data ECG compression methods. JPEG 2000 is chosen for compression of 2-D ECG data. Standard MIT-BIH arrhythmia database is used for evaluation and experiment. The results show that the proposed method outperforms compared to the most recent literature especially in case of high compression rate.

Electrocardiogram measures the electric impulses generated by the heart during its cycle. Recently genome-wide association studies on electrocardiogram traits revealed many relevant genetic loci. Therefore, these findings need to be validated and investigated to determine the underlying mechanisms using mouse models. Invasive radiotelemetry has been widely used to record the electrocardiogram in mice because it has several advantages over non-invasive measurements. However, radiotelemetry is expensive and requires complicated surgery. On the other hand, a non-invasive method using 3 electrodes (one for earth) for lead II is easy to establish and allows for rapid measurement. In this study, eleven mice were measured with this non-invasive method and no statistical difference among them was found in any ECG measurements. In addition, repeat measurement in the same mouse was performed in 9 sets of experiment and the results indicated that non-invasive method was reliable for reproducibility. Further it was shown that measurements for 1, 5, 10, and 15 minutes were not different so that a short recording such as 5 minutes was enough to estimate the ECG values including heart rate. Further this method was validated by measuring the ECG of Balb/c and FVB that were previously shown to differ in ECG values by radiotelemetry. Significant differences were found in heart rate, PR interval and corrected QT interval between these mouse strains. This study partially proved that non-invasive method also could provide the accuracy and reproducibility. Based on these results, the non-invasive ECG recordings of lead II is recommended as a useful method for quick test in mouse model.

Heart rate variability (HRV) in electrocardiogram (ECG) is an important index for understanding the health status of heart and the autonomic nervous system. Most HRV analysis approaches are based on the proper heart rate (HR) data. Estimation of heart rate is thus a key process in the HRV study. In this paper, we report an innovative method to estimate the heart rate. This method is mainly based on the concept of periodicity transform (PT) and instantaneous period (IP) estimate. The method presented is accordingly called the "PT-IP method." It does not require ECG R-wave detection and thus possesses robust noise-immune capability. While the noise contamination, ECG time-varying morphology, and subjects' physiological variations make the R-wave detection a difficult task, this method can help us effectively estimate HR for medical research and clinical diagnosis. The results of estimating HR from empirical ECG data verify the efficacy and reliability of the proposed method.
