The analysis of VF and VT with wavelet-based Tsallis information measure

We undertake the study of ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia by recourse to wavelet-based multiresolution analysis. Comparing with conventional Shannon entropy analysis of signal, we proposed a new application of Tsallis entropy analysis. It is shown that, as a criteria for detecting between ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia, Tsallis' multiresolution entropy (MRET) provides one with better discrimination power than the Shannon's multiresolution entropy (MRE).
