Abstract
Background Patient monitoring devices are critical for alerting of potential cardiac arrhythmias during hospitalization; however, there are concerns of alarm fatigue due to high false alarm rates. Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate the sensitivity and false alarm rate of hospital-based continuous electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring technologies. Methods Six commonly used multiparameter bedside monitoring systems available in the United States were evaluated: B125M (GE HealthCare), ePM10 and iPM12 (Mindray), Efficia and IntelliVue (Philips), and Life Scope (Nihon Kohden). Sensitivity was tested using ECG recordings containing 57 true ventricular tachycardia (VT) events. False-positive rate testing used 205 patient-hours of ECG recordings containing no cardiac arrhythmias. Signals from ECG recordings were fed to devices simultaneously; high-severity arrhythmia alarms were tracked. Sensitivity to true VT events and false-positive rates were determined. Differences were assessed using Fisher exact tests (sensitivity) and Z-tests (false-positive rates). Results B125M raised 56 total alarms for 57 annotated VT events and had the highest sensitivity (98%; P <.05), followed by iPM12 (84%), Life Scope (81%), Efficia (79%), ePM10 (77%), and IntelliVue (75%). B125M raised 20 false alarms, which was significantly lower (P <.0001) than iPM12 (284), Life Scope (292), IntelliVue (304), ePM10 (324), and Efficia (493). The most common false alarm was VT, followed by nonsustained VT. Conclusion We found significant performance differences among multiparameter bedside ECG monitoring systems using previously collected recordings. B125M had the highest sensitivity in detecting true VT events and lowest false alarm rate. These results can assist in minimizing alarm fatigue and optimizing patient safety by careful selection of in-hospital continuous monitoring technology.

Abstract
Field effect transistor (FET) biosensor is based on metal oxide field effect transistor that is gated by changes in the surface charges induced the reaction of biomolecules. In most cases of FET biosensor, FET biosensor is not being reused after the reaction; therefore, it is an important concept of investigate the biosensor with simplicity, cheap and reusability. However, the conventional cardiac troponin I (cTnI) sensing technique is inadequate owing to its low sensitivity and high operational time and cost. In this study, we developed a rapid and low-cost, and disposable electrical sensor using an extended gate field-effect transistor (EGFET) to detect cTnI, as a key biomarker for myocardiac infarction. We first investigated pH sensing characteristics according to the pH level, which provided a logarithmically linear sensitivity in the pH sensing buffer solution of approximately 57.9 mV/pH. Subsequently, we prepared a cTnI sample and monitored the reaction between cTnI and cTnI antibodies through the changes in the drain current and transfer curves. Our results showed that the EGFET biosensor could successfully detect the cTnI levels as well as the pH with low-cost and rapid detection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is not unusual in daily practice. Since a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) is crucial for the detection of AMI, a systematic algorithm to strengthen ECG interpretation may have important implications for improving diagnosis. AIMS We aimed to develop a deep learning model (DLM) as a diagnostic support tool based on a 12-lead electrocardiogram. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included 1,051/697 ECGs from 737/287 coronary angiogram (CAG)-validated STEMI/NSTEMI patients and 140,336 ECGs from 76,775 non-AMI patients at the emergency department. The DLM was trained and validated in 80% and 20% of these ECGs. A human-machine competition was conducted. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), sensitivity, and specificity were used to evaluate the performance of the DLM. RESULTS The AUC of the DLM for STEMI detection was 0.976 in the human-machine competition, which was significantly better than that of the best physicians. Furthermore, the DLM independently demonstrated sufficient diagnostic capacity for STEMI detection (AUC=0.997; sensitivity, 98.4%; specificity, 96.9%). Regarding NSTEMI detection, the AUC of the combined DLM and conventional cardiac troponin I (cTnI) increased to 0.978, which was better than that of either the DLM (0.877) or cTnI (0.950). CONCLUSIONS The DLM may serve as a timely, objective and precise diagnostic decision support tool to assist emergency medical system-based networks and frontline physicians in detecting AMI and subsequently initiating reperfusion therapy.

Abstract
Different from the traditional methods of assessing the cardiac activities through heart rhythm statistics or P-QRS-T complexes separately, this study demonstrates their interactive effects on the power density spectrum (PDS) of ECG signal with applications for the diagnosis of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) diseases. Firstly, a mathematical model of the PDS of ECG signal with a random pacing pulse train (PPT) mimicking S-A node firings was derived. Secondly, an experimental PDS analysis was performed on clinical ECG signals from 49 STEMI patients and 42 healthy subjects in PTB Diagnostic Database. It was found that besides the interactive effects which are consistent between theoretical and experimental results, the ECG PDSs of STEMI patients exhibited consistently significant power shift towards lower frequency range in ST-elevated leads in comparison with those of reference leads and leads of health subjects with the highest median frequency shift ratios at 51.39 12.94% found in anterior MI. Thirdly, the results of ECG simulation with systematic changes in PPT firing statistics over various lengths of ECG data ranging from 10s to 60 mins revealed that the mean and median frequency parameters were less affected by the heart rhythm statistics and the data length but more depended on the alterations of P-QRS-T complexes, which were further confirmed on 33 more STEMI patients in European ST-T Database, demonstrating that the frequency indexes could be potentially used as alternative indicators for STEMI diagnosis even with ultra-short-term ECG recordings suitable for wearable and mobile health applications in living-free environments.

Abstract
Sudden myocardial ischaemia causes an acute coronary syndrome. In the case of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), this is usually caused by the acute rupture of atherosclerotic plaque and obstruction of a coronary artery. Timely restoration of blood flow can reduce infarct size, but ischaemic regions of myocardium remain in up to two-thirds of patients due to microvascular obstruction (MVO). Experimentally, cardioprotective strategies can limit infarct size, but these are primarily intended to target reperfusion injury. Here, we address the question of whether it is possible to specifically prevent ischaemic injury, for example in models of chronic coronary artery occlusion. Two main types of intervention are identified: those that preserve ATP levels by reducing myocardial oxygen consumption, (e.g. hypothermia; cardiac unloading; a reduction in heart rate or contractility; or ischaemic preconditioning), and those that increase myocardial oxygen/blood supply (e.g. collateral vessel dilation). An important consideration in these studies is the method used to assess infarct size, which is not straightforward in the absence of reperfusion. After several hours, most of the ischaemic area is likely to become infarcted, unless it is supplied by pre-formed collateral vessels. Therefore, therapies that stimulate the formation of new collaterals can potentially limit injury during subsequent exposure to ischaemia. After a prolonged period of ischaemia, the heart undergoes a remodelling process. Interventions, such as those targeting inflammation, may prevent adverse remodelling. Finally, harnessing of the endogenous process of myocardial regeneration has the potential to restore cardiomyocytes lost during infarction.

Abstract
An improved method for detecting coronary heart disease (CHD) could have substantial clinical impact. Building on the idea that systemic effects of CHD risk factors are a conglomeration of genetic and environmental factors, we use machine learning techniques and integrate genetic, epigenetic and phenotype data from the Framingham Heart Study to build and test a Random Forest classification model for symptomatic CHD. Our classifier was trained on n = 1,545 individuals and consisted of four DNA methylation sites, two SNPs, age and gender. The methylation sites and SNPs were selected during the training phase. The final trained model was then tested on n = 142 individuals. The test data comprised of individuals removed based on relatedness to those in the training dataset. This integrated classifier was capable of classifying symptomatic CHD status of those in the test set with an accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of 78%, 0.75 and 0.80, respectively. In contrast, a model using only conventional CHD risk factors as predictors had an accuracy and sensitivity of only 65% and 0.42, respectively, but with a specificity of 0.89 in the test set. Regression analyses of the methylation signatures illustrate our ability to map these signatures to known risk factors in CHD pathogenesis. These results demonstrate the capability of an integrated approach to effectively model symptomatic CHD status. These results also suggest that future studies of biomaterial collected from longitudinally informative cohorts that are specifically characterized for cardiac disease at follow-up could lead to the introduction of sensitive, readily employable integrated genetic-epigenetic algorithms for predicting onset of future symptomatic CHD.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) is a common disease that causes morbidity and mortality. The current tools for diagnosing this disease are improving, but still have some limitations. This study utilised the second derivative of photoplethysmography (SDPPG) features to distinguish MI patients from healthy control subjects. The features include amplitude-derived SDPPG features (pulse height, ratio, jerk) and interval-derived SDPPG features (intervals and relative crest time (RCT)). We evaluated 32 MI patients at Pusat Perubatan Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia and 32 control subjects (all ages 37-87 years). Statistical analysis revealed that the mean amplitude-derived SDPPG features were higher in MI patients than in control subjects. In contrast, the mean interval-derived SDPPG features were lower in MI patients than in the controls. The classifier model of binary logistic regression (Model 7), showed that the combination of SDPPG features that include the pulse height (d-wave), the intervals of "ab", "ad", "bc", "bd", and "be", and the RCT of "ad/aa" could be used to classify MI patients with 90.6% accuracy, 93.9% sensitivity and 87.5% specificity at a cut-off value of 0.5 compared with the single features model.

Abstract
The most important ECG marker for the diagnosis of ischemia or infarction is a change in the ST segment. Baseline wander is a typical artifact that corrupts the recorded ECG and can hinder the correct diagnosis of such diseases. For the purpose of finding the best suited filter for the removal of baseline wander, the ground truth about the ST change prior to the corrupting artifact and the subsequent filtering process is needed. In order to create the desired reference, we used a large simulation study that allowed us to represent the ischemic heart at a multiscale level from the cardiac myocyte to the surface ECG. We also created a realistic model of baseline wander to evaluate five filtering techniques commonly used in literature. In the simulation study, we included a total of 5.5 million signals coming from 765 electrophysiological setups. We found that the best performing method was the wavelet-based baseline cancellation. However, for medical applications, the Butterworth high-pass filter is the better choice because it is computationally cheap and almost as accurate. Even though all methods modify the ST segment up to some extent, they were all proved to be better than leaving baseline wander unfiltered.

Abstract
In case of chest pain, immediate diagnosis of myocardial ischemia is required to respond with an appropriate treatment. The diagnostic capability of the electrocardiogram (ECG), however, is strongly limited for ischemic events that do not lead to ST elevation. This computational study investigates the potential of different electrode setups in detecting early ischemia at 10 minutes after onset: standard 3-channel and 12-lead ECG as well as body surface potential maps (BSPMs). Further, it was assessed if an additional ECG electrode with optimized position or the right-sided Wilson leads can improve sensitivity of the standard 12-lead ECG. To this end, a simulation study was performed for 765 different locations and sizes of ischemia in the left ventricle. Improvements by adding a single, subject specifically optimized electrode were similar to those of the BSPM: 2–11% increased detection rate depending on the desired specificity. Adding right-sided Wilson leads had negligible effect. Absence of ST deviation could not be related to specific locations of the ischemic region or its transmurality. As alternative to the ST time integral as a feature of ST deviation, the K point deviation was introduced: the baseline deviation at the minimum of the ST-segment envelope signal, which increased 12-lead detection rate by 7% for a reasonable threshold.

Abstract
AIMS There are many reports on the ECG characteristics of idiopathic outflow tract ventricular arrhythmias (OT-VAs) to predict their origin. However, differentiating near regions using 12-lead ECGs is still complicated. The synthesized 18-lead ECG derived from the 12-lead ECG can provide virtual waveforms of the right-sided chest leads (V3R, V4R, and V5R) and back leads (V7, V8, and V9). The aim of this study was to develop a simple and useful parameter for differentiating OT-VA origins using the 18-lead ECG. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 28 and 73 patients with idiopathic VAs in a pacemapping study and validation cohort, respectively. In the pacemapping study, several sites out of five different sites were paced in each patient: the anterior and posterior right ventricular OT (RVOT-ant and RVOT-post), right and left coronary cusps (RCC and LCC), and junction of both cusps (RLJ). The 18-lead ECGs during pacemapping among the five sites were compared for establishing a simple parameter to predict VA origins. A novel parameter using 18-lead ECGs was tested prospectively in 73 patients. In the pacemapping study, the dominant QRS morphology pattern in the synthesized V5R significantly differed among those sites (RVOT-ant:Rs, RVOT-post:rS, RCC:QS, RLJ:qR, and LCC:R). The patients in the validation cohort were divided into five groups depending on those QRS morphology patterns during VAs in the synthesized V5R. Each V5R QRS morphology pattern could predict a precise origin of the OT-VAs with an overall accuracy of 75%. CONCLUSION The QRS morphology pattern in V5R was a simple and useful parameter for differentiating detailed OT-VA origins.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A new cardiac "electrical" biomarker (CEB) for detection of 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) changes indicative of acute myocardial ischemic injury has been identified. Objective was to test CEB diagnostic accuracy. METHODS This is a blinded, observational retrospective case-control, noninferiority study. A total of 508 ECGs obtained from archived digital databases were interpreted by cardiologist and emergency physician (EP) blinded reference standards for presence of acute myocardial ischemic injury. CEB was constructed from three ECG cardiac monitoring leads using nonlinear modeling. Comparative active controls included ST voltage changes (J-point, ST area under curve) and a computerized ECG interpretive algorithm (ECGI). Training set of 141 ECGs identified CEB cutoffs by receiver-operating-characteristic (ROC) analysis. Test set of 367 ECGs was analyzed for validation. Poor-quality ECGs were excluded. Sensitivity, specificity, and negative and positive predictive values were calculated with 95% confidence intervals. Adjudication was performed by consensus. RESULTS CEB demonstrated noninferiority to all active controls by hypothesis testing. CEB adjudication demonstrated 85.3-94.4% sensitivity, 92.5-93.0% specificity, 93.8-98.6% negative predictive value, and 74.6-83.5% positive predictive value. CEB was superior against all active controls in EP analysis, and against ST area under curve and ECGI by cardiologist. CONCLUSION CEB detects acute myocardial ischemic injury with high diagnostic accuracy. CEB is instantly constructed from three ECG leads on the cardiac monitor and displayed instantly allowing immediate cost-effective identification of patients with acute ischemic injury during cardiac rhythm monitoring.

Mitral annular displacement by Doppler tissue imaging may identify coronary occlusion and predict mortality in patients with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction. J Am Soc Echocardiogr 2013; 26:875-84.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mitral annular displacement (MAD) is a simple marker of left ventricular (LV) systolic function. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that MAD can distinguish patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarctions (NSTEMIs) from those with significant coronary artery disease without infarctions, identify coronary occlusion, and predict mortality in patients with NSTEMIs. MAD was compared with established indices of LV function. METHODS In this retrospective study, 167 patients with confirmed NSTEMIs were included at two Scandinavian centers. Forty patients with significant coronary artery disease but without myocardial infarctions were included as controls. Doppler tissue imaging was performed at the mitral level of the left ventricle in the three apical planes, and velocities were integrated over time to acquire MAD. LV ejection fraction, global longitudinal strain (GLS), and wall motion score index were assessed according to guidelines. RESULTS MAD and GLS could accurately distinguish patients with NSTEMIs from controls. During 48.6 ± 12.1 months of follow-up, 22 of 167 died (13%). MAD, LV ejection fraction, and GLS were reduced and wall motion score index was increased among those who died compared with those who survived (P < .001, P < .001, P < .001, and P = .02, respectively). Multivariate Cox proportional-hazards analyses revealed that MAD was an independent predictor of death (hazard ratio, 1.36; 95% confidence interval, 1.07-1.73; P = .01). MAD and GLS were reduced and wall motion score index was increased in patients with coronary artery occlusion compared with those without occlusion (P = .006, P = .001, and P = .02), while LV ejection fraction did not differ (P = .20). CONCLUSIONS MAD accurately identified patients with NSTEMIs, predicted mortality, and identified coronary occlusion in patients with NSTEMIs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a recording of the electrical activity of the heart. It is commonly used to non-invasively assess the cardiac activity of a patient. Since 1938, ECG data has been visualised as 12 scalar traces (known as the standard 12-lead ECG). Although this is known as the standard approach, there has been a myriad of alternative methods proposed to visualise ECG data. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of these methods and to introduce the field of ECG visualisation to early stage researchers. A scientific purpose is to consider the future of ECG visualisation within routine clinical practice. METHODS This paper structures the different ECG visualisation methods using four categories, i.e. temporal, vectorial, spatial and interactive. Temporal methods present the data with respect to time, vectorial methods present data with respect to direction and magnitude, spatial methods present data in 2D or 3D space and interactive methods utilise interactive computing to facilitate efficient interrogation of ECG data at different levels of detail. CONCLUSION Spatial visualisation has been around since its introduction by Waller and vector based visualisation has been around since the 1920s. Given these approaches have already been given the 'test of time', they are unlikely to be replaced as the standard in the near future. Instead of being replaced, the standard is more likely to be 'supplemented'. However, the design and presentation of these ECG visualisation supplements need to be universally standardised. Subsequent to the development of 'standardised supplements', as a requirement, they could then be integrated into all ECG machines. We recognise that without intuitive software and interactivity on mobile devices (e.g. tablet PCs), it is impractical to integrate the more advanced ECG visualisation methods into routine practice (i.e. epicardial mapping using an inverse solution).
