The electrocardiogram (ECG) signals are basically the combination of sequential electrical impulses generated by tissues in the heart. In the last decades, by using ECG signals, various studies such as heart beat classification, arrhythmia analysis, anomaly detection, and diagnosis of heart-related diseases have been conducted with various neural network (NN), and machine learning (ML) approaches. Regardless of the approach to obtain more accurate results, various preprocessing methods are applied to data. It is observed that performing preprocessing is crucial for the sake of the related analysis. In this paper, focused on studies in the last decade, ECG analysis steps are briefly explained and mentioned approaches are reviewed on their preprocessing methods in detail.

Rasoolzadeh, Nika; Serinağaoğlu Doğrusöz, Yeşim; Department of Scientific Computing (2023-1-27)
The inverse problem of electrocardiography refers to the determination of the electrical activity of the heart from the body surface potential measurements (BSPM). Knowledge of the electrical activity state of the heart can provide valuable insights for the diagnosis of cardiac disorders and aid in the facilitation of the development of appropriate treatments. Consequently, efficient resolution of this problem has the potential to be of significant benefit to clinical practices, making it imperative to cont...

Onak, Onder Nazim; Serinağaoğlu Doğrusöz, Yeşim; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-05-01)
In the inverse electrocardiography (ECG) problem, the goal is to reconstruct the heart's electrical activity from multichannel body surface potentials and a mathematical model of the torso. Over the years, researchers have employed various approaches to solve this ill-posed problem including regularization, optimization, and statistical estimation. It is still a topic of interest especially for researchers and clinicians whose goal is to adopt this technique in clinical applications. Among the wide range of...

Ider, YZ; Muftuler, LT (1997-10-01)
Electric currents are applied to body in numerous applications in medicine such as electrical impedance tomography, cardiac defibrillation, electrocautery, and physiotherapy. If the magnetic field within a region is measured, the currents generating these fields can be calculated using the curl operator. In this study, magnetic fields generated within a phantom by currents passing through an external wire is measured using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system, A pulse sequence that is originally design...

In Lorentz Field Electrical Impedance Tomography (LFEIT), ultrasound waves are transmitted to a tissue under static magnetic field. Magnetic fields of currents generated in boundaries where conductivity difference exists because of vibrations are measured with coils. In this study, a static magnetic field is created with permanent magnets and magnetic core for LFEIT. The contribution of magnetic core to the created magnetic flux density is demonstrated. Based on these simulation studies magnetic core is des...
Solution of inverse electrocardiography problem using minimum relative entropy method
Bircan, Ali; Serinağaoğlu Doğrusöz, Yeşim; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010)
The interpretation of heart's electrical activity is very important in clinical medicine since contraction of cardiac muscles is initiated by the electrical activity of the heart. The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a diagnostic tool that measures and records the electrical activity of the heart. The conventional 12 lead ECG is a clinical tool that provides information about the heart status. However, it has limited information about functionality of heart due to limited number of recordings. A better alternativ...
