Abstract

A study of ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia was undertaken using multifractal analysis. By applying the method of direct determination of the f(α) singularity spectrum, the value of the area of the VF and VT singularity spectrum was calculated. The comparison between the results showed that the value of the area of the VF singularity spectrum tended to be larger than that of the value of the area of the VT singularity spectrum. This makes the multifractal singularity spectrum a powerful criterion for discriminating between VF and VT.
