Abstract

The present study addresses the problem of respiratory rate estimation from ECG-derived respiration (EDR) signals during paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). Novel signal-to-noise ratios between various components of the ECG including the influence of respiration, measured by QRS ensemble variance, the amplitude of fibrillatory waves (f-waves), and the QRS amplitude are introduced to characterize EDR performance. Using an improved ECG simulation model accounting for morphological variation induced by respiration, the results show that 1. the error in estimating the respiratory rate increases as a function of the time spent in AF, 2. the leads farthest away from the atria, i.e., V_{4}, V_{5}, V_{6}, exhibit the best performance due to...

Using an improved ECG simulation model accounting for morphological variation induced by respiration, the results show that 1. the error in estimating the respiratory rate increases as a function of the time spent in AF, 2. the leads farthest away from the atria, i.e., V_{4}, V_{5}, V_{6}, exhibit the best performance due to lower f-wave amplitudes, 3. lower errors in leads with similar f-wave amplitude are due to a more pronounced respiratory influence, and 4. the respiratory influence is higher in V_{2}, V_{3}, and V_{4} compared to other precordial leads.
