Abstract: | This study presents a comparison of three different methods for differentiating between supraventricular and ventricular tachycardias with wide-QRS complex. One set of criteria, derived using classical statistical techniques, was compared with two new self-learning computer techniques: the artificial neural networks and the induction algorithm approach. By analyzing the results obtained in an independent test set, using these new techniques, the criteria defined by the classical method could be improved. |
