Abstract
This work deals with the useful of geometric properties of the space phase representations, to characterize spontaneous termination of atrial fibrillation rhythms. The ECG signals are mapped into a reconstructed phase space using the method of time delays. In this space, the signals make trajectories associated to the dynamical behavior of cardiac rhythms. We estimate the box-counting (D0) and information (D1) dimensions for the learning set of an atrial fibrillation termination database. Main result indicates a topological dimension that increases closer to the extinction of atrial fibrillation rhythm.
