DUAL-INPUT NEURAL NETWORK INTEGRATING FEATURE EXTRACTION AND DEEP LEARNING FOR CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE DETECTION USING ELECTROCARDIOGRAM AND PHONOCARDIOGRAM

Dual-Input Neural Network Integrating Feature Extraction and Deep Learning for Coronary Artery Disease Detection Using Electrocardiogram and Phonocardiogram

Electrocardiogram (ECG) and phonocardiogram (PCG) signals reflect the electrical and mechanical activities of the heart, respectively.Although studies have documented that some abnormalities in ECG and Toner Collection Unit PCG signals are associated with coronary artery disease (CAD), only few researches have combined the two signals for automatic

Is there a utility for QRS dispersion in clinical practice?

Prognostic markers derived from standard ECG have always been seductive.Increased dispersion of durations of the P wave, of the QRS complex, or of the QT interval has been associated with the risk of atrial fibrillation, ventricular arrhythmias, sudden cardiac death, as well as with a general negative prognosis in various settings.However, these ma

Ectopic expression of Jatropha curcas APETALA1 (JcAP1) caused early flowering in Arabidopsis, but not in Jatropha

Jatropha curcas is a promising feedstock for biofuel production because Jatropha oil is highly suitable for the production of biodiesel and bio-jet fuels.However, Jatropha exhibits a low Depilatory seed yield as a result of unreliable and poor flowering.APETALA1 (AP1) is a floral meristem and organ identity gene in higher plants.The flower meristem
