Abstract
GUERRERO SANCHEZ, Giselle and NORIEGA ALEMAN, Maikel. Orthogonalization of electrocardiographic derivations. Rev Cubana Invest Bioméd [online]. 2020, vol.39, n.3 Epub Sep 01, 2020. ISSN 1561-3011.
Introduction:
The wavelet transform-based multiderivation electrocardiographic (ECG) signal delineator has high spatial resolution and makes it possible to eliminate interderivation differences traditionally appearing in uniderivation methods. But this requires electrocardiographic signal derivations orthogonal to one another to obtain a spatial loop.
Objective:
Develop orthogonalization methods of two or three electrographic signal derivations allowing generalization of the wavelet transform-based multiderivation delineator in any electrographic signal database with more than one derivation.
Methods: Three orthogonalization methods were implemented for electrocardiographic signal derivations: vector projection-based two-derivation orthogonalization, principal component-based orthogonalization, and orthogonalization based on the Gram-Schmidt classic method.
Results:
A comparison was performed between the operation of the ECG multiderivation delineator when used with each orthogonalization method. The comparison was based on estimation of the arithmetic mean and standard deviation bearing in mind different combinations of derivations from both databases for each of the marks analyzed. The best results were obtained with the principal component analysis method and the worst ones with the two-derivation orthogonalization method.
Conclusions:
The orthogonalization algorithms obtaining the best results were those based on three orthogonal derivations, in which decomposition into principal components was slightly higher. This is therefore considered to be the most appropriate method for generalization of the multiderivation delineator.
