Structured PICO

Does the COSEn algorithm accurately detect atrial fibrillation in very short (12-beat) heart beat interval time series?

Population

Patients over 40 years old from the MIT-BIH and University of Virginia Holter monitor databases used to validate an atrial fibrillation detection algorithm.

Exposure

Coefficient of sample entropy (COSEn) algorithm using 12-beat calculations

Outcome

Accuracy in distinguishing atrial fibrillation from normal sinus rhythm

The COSEn algorithm provides an accurate method for detecting atrial fibrillation using only 12 heartbeats, which is highly applicable for cardiac implantable electronic devices recording only from the ventricle.

Limitations

Atrial or ventricular ectopy can increase entropy despite sinus rhythm
Atrial flutter can have low or high entropy states depending on dynamics of atrioventricular conduction
