Neurally mediated syncope (NMS) patients suffer from sudden loss of consciousness, which is associated with a high rate of falls and hospitalization. NMS negatively impacts a subject's quality of life and is a growing cost issue in our aging society, as its incidence increases with age. In this paper, we present a solution for prediction of NMS, which is based on the analysis of the electrocardiogram...
Syncope is a transient and self-limited loss of consciousness that affects mostly elderly people. Although it is not lethal it can lead to serious injuries and the appearance of severe medical complications. With a high socioeconomic and medical impact, it is highly pertinent to develop personalized health systems that are capable of predicting impending syncope events and avoid major complications...
Two methodologies for neurally mediated syncope (NMS) prediction, based on the joint analysis of the electrocardiogram (ECG) and photoplethysmogram (PPG), are compared. Several features that characterize the variations in the inotropic, chronotropic, vascular tone and blood pressure surrogates were extracted and fed into two prediction models. The first method is based on the combination of the Minkowski...
Neurally medicated syncope (NMS) patients suffer from sudden loss of consciousness, which is associated with a high rate of falls and hospitalization. NMS negatively impacts a subject's quality of life and is a growing cost issue for the healthcare systems in particular since mainly elderly are at risk of NMS in our aging societies. In the present paper we present an algorithm for prediction of NMS,...
