Abstract
A system and method for classifier-based atrial fibrillation detection with the aid of a digital computer are provided. Electrocardiography (ECG) features and annotated patterns of the features are maintained in a database, at least some of the patterns associated with atrial fibrillation. A classifier is trained based on the annotated patterns. A representation of an ECG signal recorded by one or more ambulatory monitors is received. ECG features in the representation falling within each of the temporal windows are detected. The trained classifier is used to identify patterns of the ECG features. At least one matrix with weights for the patterns are generated. A value indicative of whether portions of the representation are associated the patient experiencing atrial fibrillation is calculated. That one or more of the portions are associated with the patient experiencing atrial fibrillation is determined. An action is taken based on one or more of the determinations.
