An integrated index for detection of Sudden Cardiac Death using Discrete Wavelet Transform and nonlinear features

作者：

Highlights：

• Novel Sudden Cardiac Death Index (SCDI) is proposed using ECG signals.

• Nonlinear features are extracted from DWT coefficients.

• SCDI is formulated using nonlinear features.

• SCDI predicts accurately SCD 4 min before its onset.
