Resumen

RODRIGUEZ, Javier; OLIVEROS, Diego; CORREA, Catalina  y  PRIETO, Signed. Clinical applicability of the diagnostic software of cardiac dynamics based on the Zipf-Mandelbrot law. Rev haban cienc méd [online]. 2019, vol.18, n.4, pp.624-633. ISSN 1729-519X.

Introduction:

The Zipf-Mandelbrot law allowed the development of a methodology that makes quantitative distinctions between acute and normal cardiac dynamics in an objective and reproducible way.

Objective:

To confirm the diagnostic capacity and clinical utility of the software that automates a methodology based on the Zipf-Mandelbrot law that performs objective diagnoses of the cardiac dynamics.

Material and Methods:

A blind study was performed with 80 Holter records, 20 normal and 60 with pathological findings. The software organized heart rates in a hierarchical way through their frequencies of occurrence in ranges of 15 beats per min, linearized data, and obtained statistical fractal dimension which allowed the realization of the complexity analysis.

Results:

The statistical fractal dimension of the normal Holter records was found between 0,720 and 0,913, and exhibited values ​​between 0,454 and 0,665 in the abnormal Holter records. A Kappa coefficient of 1, and specificity and sensitivity values ​​of 100% were found.

Conclusions Methods:

The clinical utility of the Software that automates the methodology based on the Zipf-Mandelbrot law was confirmed, which allowed to evaluate the behavior of normal and acute cardiac systems.
