Interference of power line (PLI) (fundamental frequency and its harmonics) is usually present in biopotential measurements. Despite all countermeasures, the PLI still corrupts physiological signals, for example, electromyograms (EMG), electroencephalograms (EEG), and electrocardiograms (ECG). When analyzing the fetal ECG (fECG) recorded on the maternal abdomen, the PLI represents a particular s...

OBJECTIVE/AIMS To investigate the presence of signal ambiguity of intrapartum fetal heart rate (FHR) monitoring during delivery by comparing simultaneous cardiotocogram (CTG), abdominal fetal electrocardiogram (ECG) with continuous maternal ECG. METHODS A total of 144 simultaneous CTG (Corometrics 250 series), abdominal fetal ECG (Monica -AN24™) and maternal ECG (Monica AN24™) recordings were...

as the t-wave section in electrocardiogram (ecg) illustrates the repolarisation phase of heart activity, the information which is accumulated in this section is so significant that can explain the proper operation of electrical activities in heart. long qt syndrome (lqt) and t-wave alternans (twa) have imperceptible effects on time and amplitude of t-wave interval. therefore, t-wave shapes of t...

The non-invasive Fetal Electrocardiogram (FECG) signal has become a significant method for monitoring the fetus's physiological conditions, extracted from Abdominal (AECG) during pregnancy. current techniques are limited delivery detecting and analyzing fECG. non - intrusive fECG recorded mother's abdomen is contaminated by variety of noise sources, can be more challenging task removing materna...

Fetal electrocardiogram (FECG) signals contain important information about the conditions of fetus during pregnancy. Currently, pure FECG can only be obtained through an invasive acquisition process, which is life threatening to both mother and fetus. In this study, single-channel ECG from mother’s abdomen are analyzed with aim extracting clean waveform. This a challenging task due very low amp...

background: equine chorionic gonadotropin (ecg) is commonly used in association with a progestagen treatment to synchronize estrus of goats and ewes during breeding and non-breeding seasons. classical purification of the ecg from serum includes ph fractionation with metaphosphoric acid two ethanol precipitation steps as well as dialysis followed by fixed-bed chromatography. objectives: the aim ...

The field of electrocardiography has been in existence for over a century, yet despite significant advances in adult clinical electrocardiography, signal processing techniques and fast digital processors, the analysis of fetal ECGs is still in its infancy. This is, partly due to a lack of availability of gold standard databases, partly due to the relatively low signal-to-noise ratio of the feta...
