[EN] One of the remaining challenges for the scientific-technical community is predicting preterm births, for which electrohysterography (EHG) has emerged as a highly sensitive prediction technique. Sample and fuzzy entropy ...
[EN] This paper analyses the performance of SampEn and one of its derivatives, Fuzzy Entropy (FuzzyEn), in the context of artifacted blood glucose time series classification. This is a difficult and practically unexplored ...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most commonly clinically-encountered arrhythmia.
Catheter ablation of AF is mainly based on trigger elimination and modification of the AF
substrate. Substrate mapping ablation of complex ...

The problem of classifying short atrial fibrillatory segments in ambulatory ECG recordings as being either paroxysmal or persistent is addressed by investigating a robust approach to signal characterization. The method ...
Objective: There is an ongoing research effort devoted to characterize the signal regularity metrics approximate entropy (ApEn) and sample entropy (SampEn) in order to better interpret their results in the context of ...
Entropy estimation metrics have become a widely used method to identify subtle changes or hidden features in biomedical records. These methods have been more effective than conventional linear techniques in a number of ...

[EN] Although preterm labor is a major cause of neonatal death and often leaves health sequels in the survivors, there are no accurate and reliable clinical tools for preterm labor prediction. The Electrohysterogram (EHG) ...
[EN] Atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence rates after successful ablation procedures are still high and difficult to predict. This work studies the capability of entropy measured from intracardiac recordings as an indicator ...

[ES] El parto prematuro es una situación de alto riesgo que tiene una prevalencia superior al 10% de los partos, afectando a más de 15 millones de familias en el mundo. Sus repercusiones se muestran tanto en la salud materno ...
Signal entropy measures such as Approximate Entropy (ApEn) and Sample Entropy (SampEn) are widely used in Heart Rate Variability (HRV) analysis and biomedical research. In this article, we analyze the influence of QRS ...
[EN] Many entropy-related methods for signal classification have been proposed and exploited successfully in the last several decades. However, it is sometimes difficult to find the optimal measure
and the optimal parameter ...
[EN] Atrial fibrillation (AF) is nowadays the most common cardiac arrhythmia, being associated with an increase in cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. When AF lasts for more than seven days, it is classified as persistent ...
