Description
Coarctation of the aorta is a common congenital heart lesion leading to acute decompensation in the newborn period if not timely detected. Current methods of screening have a sensitivity of only 36% for detection of coarctation. Here we present a new method of photoplethysmography waveform analysis using beat to beat morphological variability analysis. Using a database of 21 patients (10 coarctation and 11 controls) we demonstrate 76% accuracy in detecting coarctation.
Describe the new knowledge and additional skills the participant will gain after attending your presentation.: Utilize “big data analytics” to study beat by beat photoplethysmography (PPG) morphology to find meaningful clinical applications. PPG waveform data has layers of complexity greater than derived numeric values alone.
