Electrocardiogram (ECG) Signal and Its Applications

Dear Colleagues,

The electrocardiogram (ECG) is used to investigate some types of abnormal heart function, including arrhythmias and conduction disturbances, as well as hear morphology. The classification of ECG signals plays an important role in the diagnoses of heart diseases. In addition, biometrics using the ECG have been successfully performed recently. The variation of ECG signals has unique characteristics, because humans have physically different body shapes. Thus, it is advantageous for security, because the heart-generated signal is concealed inside the body.

This Special Issue is concerned with signal processing, classification, and interpretation from ECG signal information. Furthermore, it includes ECG biometrics (user recognition and authentication) and applications based on deep learning or computational intelligence.

Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
