A team of physicists at Tampere University has created a groundbreaking method for detecting congestive heart failure with greater accuracy and ease. Using advanced time-series analysis of inter-beat intervals (RR intervals), the method can identify heart failure with 90% accuracy, even with readily available devices like smartwatches and heart rate monitors.
A team of physicists has developed a groundbreaking method for detecting congestive heart failure with greater ease and precision than previously thought possible. This multidisciplinary study, involving both cardiologists and computational physicists, builds on the team's earlier breakthroughs, for example, in predicting the risk of sudden cardiac death.
The new method is based on advanced time-series analysis developed by the Quantum Control and Dynamics research group led by Professor Esa Räsänen. This analysis allows the investigation of dependencies between inter-beat intervals at different time scales, along with other complex characteristics typical of various heart diseases.
"The new method opens up new opportunities for digital healthcare and patient self-monitoring," says the lead author of the study, Doctoral Researcher Teemu Pukkila.
