Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI), referred to as a heart attack, is a life-threatening condition that happens due to blood clots, typically, blood flow to a portion of the heart muscle is blocked. The cardiac muscle may become permanently damaged if there is insufficient oxygen and blood flow to the affected area. It's crucial to treat MI as soon as possible because even a small delay might have serious effects. The primary diagnostic tool to track and identify the signs of MI is the electrocardiogram (ECG). The complexity of MI signals combined with noise makes it difficult for clinicians to make a precise and prompt diagnosis. It might be laborious and time-consuming to manually analyse an enormous quantity of ECG data. Therefore, techniques for autonomously diagnosing from the ECG data are required. There have been numerous research on the topic of MI espial, but the majority of the algorithms are cognitively intensive when working with empirical data. The current study suggests a unique method for the efficient and reliable identification of MI. We employed circulant singular spectrum analysis (CSSA) for baseline wander removal, a 4-stage Savitzky-Golay (SG) filter to expunge powerline interference from the ECG signal and segmented in the preprocessing stage. Thus segmented ECG has been decomposed using CSSA, entropy based features are extracted. The best features are selected by using binary Harris hawk optimization (BHHO) and to machine learning (ML) classifiers like Naive Bayes, Decision tree, K-nearest neighbor (KNN), Support vector machine (SVM), and Ensemble subspace KNN. Our suggested method has been examined from both class as well as subject oriented perspectives. While the subject-oriented technique uses data from one patient for testing while using data from the other subjects for training, the class-wise strategy divides data as test data as well as training data regardless of subjects. We succeeded in achieving accuracy (A c % ) of 99.8, sensitivity (S e % ) of 99, and 100 specificity (Sp%) under the class-oriented approach. Similarly, for the subject wise strategy we achieved a mean A c % , Se%, and Sp% of 85.2, 83.1, and 84.5, respectively.

Abstract
Many clinical and consumer electrocardiogram (ECG) devices collect fewer electrodes than the standard twelve-lead ECG and either report less information or employ algorithms to reconstruct a full twelve-lead signal. We assessed the optimal electrode selection and number that minimizes redundant information collection while maximizing reconstruction accuracy. We employed a validated deep learning model to reconstruct ECG signals from 250 different patients in the PTB database. Different numbers and combinations of electrodes were removed from the ECG before reconstruction to measure the effect of electrode inclusion on reconstruction accuracy. The Left Leg (LL) electrode registered the largest drop in average reconstruction accuracy, from an R2 of 0.836 when the LL was included to 0.737 when excluded. Additionally, we conducted a correlation analysis to identify leads that behave similarly. We demonstrate that there exists a high correlation between leads I, II, aVL, aVF, V4, V5, and V6, which all occupy the bottom right quadrant in an ECG axis interpretation, and likely contain redundant information. Based on our analysis, we recommend the prioritization of electrodes RA, LA, LL, and V3 in any future lead collection devices, as they appear most important for full ECG reconstruction.

Abstract
The vector concept in the analysis of the electrical signals of the heart began to be used at the dawn of the development of electrocardiology. For several decades, vectorcardiography has developed in parallel with electrocardiography; reached its peak in the 60s, and after a period of cooling experienced a resurgence since the early 90s, when it became possible to mathematically synthesize vectorcardiograms (VCG) from digital electrocardiograms in 12 leads. VCG reflects the same phenomena as electrocardiography, but allows you to calculate and visualize a number of three-dimensional characteristics of the electrical signals of the heart. The article describes the main milestones in the development of the VCG, the history of international cooperation in this area, the contribution of domestic scientists to this field of science. Modern promising areas of research related to the vector concept of the analysis of the electrical signals of the heart are briefly reflected.

Reliable Detection of Myocardial Ischemia Using Machine Learning Based on Temporal-Spatial Characteristics of Electrocardiogram and Vectorcardiogram. Front Physiol 2022; 13:854191. [PMID: 35707012 PMCID: PMC9192098 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2022.854191] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2022] [Accepted: 04/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Myocardial ischemia is a common early symptom of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Reliable detection of myocardial ischemia using computer-aided analysis of electrocardiograms (ECG) provides an important reference for early diagnosis of CVD. The vectorcardiogram (VCG) could improve the performance of ECG-based myocardial ischemia detection by affording temporal-spatial characteristics related to myocardial ischemia and capturing subtle changes in ST-T segment in continuous cardiac cycles. We aim to investigate if the combination of ECG and VCG could improve the performance of machine learning algorithms in automatic myocardial ischemia detection. Methods: The ST-T segments of 20-second, 12-lead ECGs, and VCGs were extracted from 377 patients with myocardial ischemia and 52 healthy controls. Then, sample entropy (SampEn, of 12 ECG leads and of three VCG leads), spatial heterogeneity index (SHI, of VCG) and temporal heterogeneity index (THI, of VCG) are calculated. Using a grid search, four SampEn and two features are selected as input signal features for ECG-only and VCG-only models based on support vector machine (SVM), respectively. Similarly, three features (S I , THI, and SHI, where S I is the SampEn of lead I) are further selected for the ECG + VCG model. 5-fold cross validation was used to assess the performance of ECG-only, VCG-only, and ECG + VCG models. To fully evaluate the algorithmic generalization ability, the model with the best performance was selected and tested on a third independent dataset of 148 patients with myocardial ischemia and 52 healthy controls. Results: The ECG + VCG model with three features (S I ,THI, and SHI) yields better classifying results than ECG-only and VCG-only models with the average accuracy of 0.903, sensitivity of 0.903, specificity of 0.905, F1 score of 0.942, and AUC of 0.904, which shows better performance with fewer features compared with existing works. On the third independent dataset, the testing showed an AUC of 0.814. Conclusion: The SVM algorithm based on the ECG + VCG model could reliably detect myocardial ischemia, providing a potential tool to assist cardiologists in the early diagnosis of CVD in routine screening during primary care services.
