  • Computational Diagnostic Techniques for Electrocardiogram Signal Analysis
    sensors Review Computational Diagnostic Techniques for Electrocardiogram Signal Analysis Liping Xie * , Zilong Li, Yihan Zhou, Yiliu He and Jiaxin Zhu College of Medicine and Biological Information Engineering, Northeastern University, Shenyang 110169, China; [email protected] (Z.L.); [email protected] (Y.Z.); [email protected] (Y.H.); [email protected] (J.Z.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 8 September 2020; Accepted: 4 November 2020; Published: 5 November 2020 Abstract: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), including asymptomatic myocardial ischemia, angina, myocardial infarction, and ischemic heart failure, are the leading cause of death globally. Early detection and treatment of CVDs significantly contribute to the prevention or delay of cardiovascular death. Electrocardiogram (ECG) records the electrical impulses generated by heart muscles, which reflect regular or irregular beating activity. Computer-aided techniques provide fast and accurate tools to identify CVDs using a patient’s ECG signal, which have achieved great success in recent years. Latest computational diagnostic techniques based on ECG signals for estimating CVDs conditions are summarized here. The procedure of ECG signals analysis is discussed in several subsections, including data preprocessing, feature engineering, classification, and application. In particular, the End-to-End models integrate feature extraction and classification into learning algorithms, which not only greatly simplifies the process of data analysis, but also shows excellent accuracy and robustness. Portable devices enable users to monitor their cardiovascular status at any time, bringing new scenarios as well as challenges to the application of ECG algorithms. Computational diagnostic techniques for ECG signal analysis show great potential for helping health care professionals, and their application in daily life benefits both patients and sub-healthy people.

  • Overview of Partial Left Ventriculectomy
    Prepared by ASERNIP-S NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR CLINICAL EXCELLENCE INTERVENTIONAL PROCEDURES PROGRAMME Interventional procedure overview of Partial Left Ventriculectomy Introduction This overview has been prepared to assist members of IPAC advise on the safety and efficacy of an interventional procedure previously reviewed by SERNIP. It is based on a rapid survey of published literature, review of the procedure by specialist advisors and review of the content of the SERNIP file. It should not be regarded as a definitive assessment of the procedure. Procedure name Partial Left Ventriculectomy The Batista Procedure Specialty society Society of Cardiothoracic Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland Executive Summary Left partial ventriculectomy (PLV) seeks to treat dilated cardiomyopathy by reducing cardiac volume and hence heart wall pressure through the resection of a portion of the left ventricle. Patients receiving it are generally suitable for cardiac transplant but unable to receive it, often for social or economic reasons. PLV is an emerging procedure and the vast majority of evidence is case series, although there has been one retrospective comparative study of PLV and transplantation. Hospital mortality was reported for up to 30% of patients and overall mortality was around 40% of patients. Thirty day survival ranged from 50% to 99%, and no significant difference was found between PLV and transplant. One-year survival ranged from 46% to 80% and three- year survival was reported in one study as 60%. Event-free survival was reported as 80% at 30 days, 49% at 1 year and 26% at three years. Use of a left ventricular assist device or relisting for cardiac surgery was reported in one study at between 5% and 15% of patients at 30 days and in 43% at 1 year and 58% at 3 years.

Lankipalli, MD, James F. Burke, MD, FACC, Simone Musco, MD, Peter R. Kowey, MD, FACC Wynnewood, Pennsylvania Ventricular repolarization components on the surface electrocardiogram (ECG) include J (Osborn) waves, ST-segments, and T- and U-waves, which dynamically change in morphol- ogy under various pathophysiologic conditions and play an important role in the development of ventricular arrhythmias. Our primary objective in this review is to identify the ionic and cellular basis for ventricular repolarization components on the body surface ECG under normal and pathologic conditions, including a discussion of their clinical significance. A specific attempt to combine typical clinical ECG tracings with transmembrane electrical recordings is made to illustrate their logical linkage. A transmural voltage gradient during initial ventricular repolarization, which results from the presence of a prominent transient ϩ outward K current (Ito)-mediated action potential (AP) notch in the epicardium, but not endocardium, manifests as a J-wave on the ECG. The J-wave is associated with the early repolarization syndrome and Brugada syndrome. ST-segment elevation, as seen in Brugada syndrome and acute myocardial ischemia, cannot be fully explained by using the classic concept of an “injury current” that flows from injured to uninjured myocardium.

The purpose of this study was to examine the clinical features, predictive factors, and prognosis of patients with coronary vasospastic angina (VSA) and lactate production. Methods and Results-—We examined all 712 patients who underwent both myocardial lactate measurement during ACh- provocation test in the left coronary artery and genetic screening test of a –786T/C polymorphism in the 50-flanking region of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene between January 1991 and December 2010. Lactate production was observed in 252 of the 712 patients and in 219 of 356 VSA patients diagnosed by ACh-provocation test. Compared with lactate production– negative VSA patients, the lactate production–positive counterparts were more likely to be nonsmoker female diabetics with – 786T/C eNOS polymorphism (61% vs 31%, P<0.001, 62% vs 34%, P<0.001, 24% vs 14%, P=0.016, and 25% vs 15%, P=0.018, respectively). Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified female sex, diabetes mellitus, and –786T/C eNOS polymorphism to correlate with lactate production (odds ratio 3.51, 95% CI 2.16 to 5.70, P<0.001; odds ratio 2.53, 95% CI 1.38 to 4.65, P=0.003; and odds ratio 1.85, 95% CI 1.02 to 3.35, P=0.044, respectively).

  • Tively Assess Myocardial Function: New Hypothesis and Validation Experiment Regarding the U Wave

Under normal conditions, the stronger the myocardial contractility, the greater the mass of the heart, the closer the distance to the chest wall, the more intense the apex beat, the more cells deformed and repolarization delayed, and the longer the delay time. To test the hypothesis, 41 high school student volunteers participated in a clinical trial. The results showed that when the position was changed from the supine position to the left lateral position, the U wave increased significantly (0.24±0.095×0.1 mv, a=99%), the T wave significantly decreased (-1.3±0.74×0.1 mv, a=99%), the time difference between the two peaks significantly increased (0.38±0.12×40 ms, a= 99%), indicating a strong co-rrelation between those three values ( r= 0.87 and 0.39).

  • The Enigmatic Sixth Wave of the Electrocardiogram: the U Wave
    Cardiology Journal 2008, Vol. 15, No. 5, pp. 408–421 Copyright © 2008 Via Medica REVIEW ARTICLE ISSN 1897–5593 The enigmatic sixth wave of the electrocardiogram: The U wave Andrés Ricardo Pérez Riera1, Celso Ferreira1, Celso Ferreira Filho1, Marcelo Ferreira1, Adriano Meneghini1, Augusto Hiroshi Uchida2, Edgardo Schapachnik3, Sergio Dubner4, Li Zhang5 1For International VCG Investigators, ABC Faculty of Medicine (FMABC), Foundation of ABC (FUABC), Santo André, Brazil 2Heart Institute of the University of São Paulo Medical School, São Paulo, Brazil 3Dr. Cosme Argerich Hospital, Buenos Aires, Argentina 4Clínica and Maternidad Suizo Argentina, Buenos Aires, Argentina 5Main Line Health Heart Center, Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, PA, USA Electro-Vectorcardigraphic Section, ABC Medical School, ABC Foundation, Santo André, São Paulo, Brazil Abstract The U wave is the last, inconstant, smallest, rounded and upward deflection of the electrocar- diogram. Controversial in origin, it is sometimes seen following the T wave with the TU junction along the baseline or fused with it and before P of the following cycle on the TP segment. In this review we will study its temporal location related to monophasic action potential, cardiac cycle and heart sounds, polarity, voltage or amplitude, frequency and shape- contour. We will analyze the clinical significance of negative, alternant, prominent U wave, and the difference between T wave with two peaks (T1–T2) and true U wave. Finally we will analyze the four main hypotheses about the source of U wave: repolarization of the intraven- tricular conducting system or Purkinje fibers system, delayed repolarization of the papillary muscles, afterpotentials caused by mechanoelectrical hypothesis or mechanoelectrical feedback, and the prolonged repolarization in the cells of the mid-myocardium (“M-cells”).
