Predicting orthostatic vasovagal syncope with signal processing and physiological modelling
- Abstract:
-
Orthostatic vasovagal syncope is the sudden loss of consciousness resulting from a temporary impairment of cerebral blood flow, within approximately an hour of standing. Patients who suffer from this problem have "vasovagal syndrome". The purpose of this thesis was to devise a method to detect the syndrome following the assumption of upright position.
Data from 106 syncopal patients undergoing head-up tilt table testing (HUT) were acquired, including electrical activity of the hear...
