In the present work, we sought to characterize and discriminate whether simulated single stable rotors are located in the pulmonary veins (PVs) or not, only by using non-invasive signals (i.e., the 12-lead ECG). Several features have been extracted from the signals, such as Hjort descriptors, recurrence quantification analysis (RQA), and principal component analysis. All the extracted features have shown significant discriminatory power, with particular emphasis to the RQA parameters. A decision tree classifier achieved 98.48% accuracy, 83.33% sensitivity, and 100% specificity on simulated data.Clinical Relevance-This study might guide ablation procedures, suggesting doctors to proceed directly in some patients with a pulmonary veins isolation, and avoiding the prior use of an invasive atrial mapping system. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/766082/EU/MultidisciplinarY training network for ATrial fibRillation monItoring, treAtment and progression/MY-ATRIA This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No H2020 766082-MY-ATRIA info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Azzolin, Luca Martínez, Juan Pablo Laguna, Pablo Doessel, Olaf Loewe, Axel Sassi, Roberto Rivolta, Massimo Walter 2020 (2020), 410-413 Conf. proc.
