Abstract:
Biological signals, such as intracardiac electrograms during atrial fibrillation (AF), can contain multiple periodic components or peaks. We propose a method for identifying individual periodic peak trains in signals containing multiple such periodic sequences. We use dominant frequency-based periodicity detection along with a graph search algorithm to identify the most dominant periodic activation set or peaks of interest. We then remove these peaks and iterate until all periodic sequences are identified. The proposed method is tested on simulated AF intra-cardiac electrograms with periodic activation trains of three distinct frequencies corrupted by noise and complex aperiodic signal features. The method is shown to have high accuracy (up to 100% sensitivity and 100% specificity) in detecting the three individual periodic peak trains. The method has application in biomedical signal analysis, such as detecting the periodic activations of a rotor, amidst other periodic activations during AF.
