INTRODUCTION Most arrhythmias during centrifuge training are physiological responses to high +Gz stress. However, potentially dangerous arrhythmias occasionally occur during centrifuge training. We reviewed all arrhythmias recorded during the Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF) centrifuge training from April 2001 to March 2003, and developed a criterion for suspending G-training based on obser...

In this paper, we proposed an algorithm for arrhythmia classification, which is associated with the reduction of feature dimensions by linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and a support vector machine (SVM) based classifier. Seventeen original input features were extracted from preprocessed signals by wavelet transform, and attempts were then made to reduce these to 4 features, the linear combina...

Holter system electrocardiograms were recorded for 617 patients who were treated at the Department of Cardiology, Tokai University Hospital. In cases of arrhythmia, ventricular premature contraction (VPC) was the most predominant, in 291 cases (69%) out of 423 with arrhythmia, followed by 59 (14%) with supraventricular premature contraction (SVPC), 23 (5.4%) with paroxysmal atrial tachycardia, ...
