Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a valuable technique that has been in use for over a century. The analysis of fetal ECG signal has always been an interesting topic in the field of signal processing. The presence of noises in the ECG signal causes distortion in the signal morphology. While analyzing the fetal ECG this distortion of the signal is much more severe as the fetal ECG is much weaker than t...

In this paper we test the hypothesis that a domain reference ontology of the electrocardiogram (ECG) can be employed in an effective manner to achieve semantic integration between ECG data standards. Several standardization initiatives, namely AHA/MIT-BIH (Physionet), SCP-ECG and HL7 aECG, have led to heterogeneous conceptualizations of the ECG domain. We then argue that a shared anchor, the bi...

Cardiac arrhythmia refers to any abnormal electrical activity in the heart that causes irregular heartbeat. Under clinical settings, the arrhythmias can be monitored non-invasively using the electrocardiogram (ECG). Although reliable, the method is still prone to error due to its dependence on visual interpretation. Further, ECG data is enormous in dimension and increases as the data sampling r...
