The book presents recent advances in signal processing techniques
for modeling, analysis, and understanding of the heart's electrical
activity during atrial fibrillation. This arrhythmia is the most
commonly encountered in clinical practice and its complex and
metamorphic nature represents a challenging problem for clinicians,
engineers, and scientists. Research on atrial fibrillation has
stimulated the development of a wide range of signal processing
tools to better understand the mechanisms ruling its initiation,
maintenance, and termination. This book provides undergraduate and
graduate students, as well as researchers and practicing engineers,
with an overview of techniques, including time domain techniques
for atrial wave extraction, time-frequency analysis for exploring
wave dynamics, and nonlinear techniques to characterize the
ventricular response and the organization of atrial activity. The
book includes an introductory chapter about atrial fibrillation and
its mechanisms, treatment, and management. The successive chapters
are dedicated to the analysis of atrial signals recorded on the
body surface and to the quantification of ventricular response. The
rest of the book explores techniques to characterize endo- and
epicardial recordings and to model atrial conduction. Under the
appearance of being a monothematic book on atrial fibrillation, the
reader will not only recognize common problems of biomedical signal
processing but also discover that analysis of atrial fibrillation
is a unique challenge for developing and testing novel signal
processing tools. Table of Contents: Analysis of Ventricular
Response During Atrial Fibrillation / Organization Measures of
Atrial Activity During Fibrillation / Modeling Atrial Fibrillation:
From Myocardial Cells to ECG / Algorithms for Atrial Tachyarrythmia
