Book synopsis

Cardiovascular heart disease (CHD) is a chief public§health priority §worldwide. The 12-Lead Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a§standard §procedure in diagnosing CHDs such as Myocardial§Infarction (MI). §Nevertheless, due to sparse spatial sampling, it is§limited in §identifying cardiac abnormalities. Alternatively, in§Body Surface §Cardiac Mapping (BSCM) a higher number of ECGs are§recorded. §Hence, BSCM provides a more comprehensive picture of §electrocardiographic information than is possible§with the 12-lead §ECG. This work has two main objectives. Firstly, to§develop a §classification framework for an accurate and early§diagnosis of §acute MI. This decision support system encompasses§computational §neural models with the input space based on BSCM.§Secondly, since §MI is localised on the torso surface, and due to the§high number of §electrocardiographic leads involved in BSCM, it is§desirable to find §an optimal reduced lead set for acute MI detection.§By building an §additional layer of knowledge between the§cardiologist and clinical §practice, this work not only enhances final MI§classification §performance but, allow the discovery of new§electrocardiographic §MI markers.
