In this lecture, we will focus on the characterization and detection of T-Wave Alternans (TWA), a micro-volt fluctuation in electrocardiogram (ECG) signals that has been identified as a risk factor for serious cardiac conditions such as malignant arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. We will explore a range of signal processing methods and artificial intelligence techniques, including machine learning and deep learning, aimed at detecting TWA in real-world ambulatory environments to help identify patients at risk of developing these life-threatening conditions. Additionally, we will provide insights into the explainability and interpretability of the models used, highlighting how these aspects contribute to building trust in AI-driven diagnostics and ensuring that the predictions are transparent and understandable for clinical practitioners.
