ARE 10 ELECTRODES TOO MUCH?
   The 12 lead ECG format is familiar to medical personal
    throughout disciplines (Fischer et al. 1998; Lin Haiping et al. 2008)
   The 12 lead ECG provides a detailed picture of the heart´s
    electrical activity

The 12 lead ECG requires the attachment of 10 Electrodes

   There is a demand for electrocardiographic systems with less
    and/or different recording sites
     Access to the precordium (defibrillation, resuscitation,
      echocardiography) (Feild et al. 2008; Nelwan et al. 2000)
     Easy identifiable electrode locations (Feldman et al. 1997)
     Reduction in costs for consumables (electrodes) (Feild et al. 2008)
     Simplified maintenance for continuous monitoring (Drew et al. 2004)


   Reduced lead systems aim to address this demand                         2

                                                                      3
LEAD TRANSFORMATIONS
   A non recorded lead (target lead) is
    typically estimated (derived) by a
    weighted sum of all recorded leads
    (basis leads) (Feild et al. 2008)
    dV3(t)= a1 * I(t) + a2 * II(t) +a3 * V1(t) + a4 * V5(t)



   Two different concepts for optimisation of weights a1 to a4 exist
     • Optimised for one specific patient (patient specific weights) (Nelwan et al. 2004)
     • Optimised over several patients of a cohort (generalised weights) (Nelwan et
       al. 2004)




                                                                                        4
AIM

   Higher estimation accuracy has been reported for PS weights (Nelwan et
    al. 2000)




   Negative impact of ischemia on the estimation accuracy of RLS has
    previously been identified (Feild et al. 2008; Nelwan et al. 2008)

   However, no detailed assessment of the location of the ischemic
    event and its impact on the estimation accuracy of PS derived target
    leads has been reported.

       In this study, we assesses how different ischemic events impact
        on the
               similarity between derived and recorded STT segments
               diagnostic classification
                                                                         5

    Geometry of torso model is             Geometry of cardiac model is
       defined by 300 nodes                   defined by 257 nodes



Ischemic events were simulated by
  • delay of depolarisation time by 15ms
  • reduction of action potential
   duration to 80% of normal value
  • reduction of transmembrane
   amplitude to 80% of normal value

   Simulated ischemic events increase RMSE of PS derived target to a
    level that is comparable to that obtained by GN derived target leads.

   RMSE values for target leads V2, V4 and V6 show similar
    overall profile. However, the order of the ischemic events on

CONCLUSION
   Our simulations indicate
     • In absence of ischemic events PS derived leads are superior to GN
        derived ones
     • Superiority of PS approach is largely compromised in the presence of
        ischemic events

   Findings raise questions about the superiority of PS approach
    used for continuous monitoring

   Findings indicate the importance of evaluation of such systems on
    data that reflects pathological changes

   Follow-up research based on real patient data is currently under
    way

   Findings solely based on simulations
      • Further research on real patient data is required


   Simulations are limited in that
     • Only 25 ischemic events have been simulated
     • Only one torso and heart geometry was used
     • Severity of simulated ischemia was not varied

The Effects Of Ischemia On The Estimation Accuracy Of A Reduced Lead System - Daniel Guldenring

  • 1. THE EFFECTS OF ISCHEMIA ON THE ESTIMATION ACCURACY OF A REDUCED LEAD SYSTEM D Güldenring1, DD Finlay1, CD Nugent1, MP Donnelly1 1 1 University of Ulster, Belfast, United Kingdom
  • 2. ARE 10 ELECTRODES TOO MUCH?  The 12 lead ECG format is familiar to medical personal throughout disciplines (Fischer et al. 1998; Lin Haiping et al. 2008)  The 12 lead ECG provides a detailed picture of the heart´s electrical activity The 12 lead ECG requires the attachment of 10 Electrodes  There is a demand for electrocardiographic systems with less and/or different recording sites  Access to the precordium (defibrillation, resuscitation, echocardiography) (Feild et al. 2008; Nelwan et al. 2000)  Easy identifiable electrode locations (Feldman et al. 1997)  Reduction in costs for consumables (electrodes) (Feild et al. 2008)  Simplified maintenance for continuous monitoring (Drew et al. 2004)  Reduced lead systems aim to address this demand 2

  • 4. LEAD TRANSFORMATIONS  A non recorded lead (target lead) is typically estimated (derived) by a weighted sum of all recorded leads (basis leads) (Feild et al. 2008) dV3(t)= a1 * I(t) + a2 * II(t) +a3 * V1(t) + a4 * V5(t)  Two different concepts for optimisation of weights a1 to a4 exist • Optimised for one specific patient (patient specific weights) (Nelwan et al. 2004) • Optimised over several patients of a cohort (generalised weights) (Nelwan et al. 2004) 4
  • 5. AIM  Higher estimation accuracy has been reported for PS weights (Nelwan et al. 2000)  Negative impact of ischemia on the estimation accuracy of RLS has previously been identified (Feild et al. 2008; Nelwan et al. 2008)  However, no detailed assessment of the location of the ischemic event and its impact on the estimation accuracy of PS derived target leads has been reported.  In this study, we assesses how different ischemic events impact on the  similarity between derived and recorded STT segments  diagnostic classification 5
  • 6. ECGSIM MODEL Geometry of torso model is Geometry of cardiac model is defined by 300 nodes defined by 257 nodes Ischemic events were simulated by • delay of depolarisation time by 15ms • reduction of action potential duration to 80% of normal value • reduction of transmembrane amplitude to 80% of normal value 6
  • 7. ISCHEMIC EVENTS Ischemic Ventricular Event # segments 1 1 2 10 3 1&2&10 1&2&10 10 left ventricular segments are after Galeotti et al. [11] 4 1&2&3&4&10 5 1&2&3&4 6 1&3&4&10 1&3&4&10 … 25 9&10&11&12&14&1 5&17 7
  • 8. WAVEFORM SIMILARITY ASSESSMENT PS derived basis leads target leads PS weights PS RMSE target leads GN GN weights RMSE basis leads GN derived ECGSIM target leads  Assessment of waveform similarity • by RMSE between derived and actual target leads • for 25 simulated ischemic events • over STT segment 8
  • 9. RESULTS -WAVEFORM SIMILARITY RMSE of PS derived V3 RMSE of GN derived V3  Simulated ischemic events increase RMSE of PS derived target to a level that is comparable to that obtained by GN derived target leads.  RMSE values for target leads V2, V4 and V6 show similar overall profile. However, the order of the ischemic events on 9 the x-axis and their corresponding RMSE values does differ.
  • 10. DIAGNOSTIC CLASSIFICATION PS derived PS derived basis leads target leads 12-lead ECG PS weights AHA criteria 12-lead ECG AHA criteria AHA criteria GN weights GN derived GN derived basis leads ECGSIM target leads 12-lead ECG  Diagnostic classification • of (PS / GN) derived and actual 12-lead ECG • based on AHA criteria for acute myocardial ischemia (Thygesen et al. 2007) • search for ischemic events  detected on actual 12-lead ECG and  missed on (PS/GN) derived 12-lead ECG 10
  • 11. RESULTS –DIAGNOSTIC CLASSIFICATION  Ischemic events identified by AHA criteria for acute myocardial ischemia (Thygesen et al. 2007) • identified by recorded 12 lead ECGs • missed by derived (PS & GN) 12 lead ECGs  Derived ECGs missed the AHA criteria only marginally short • would be obvious human observer • may be not detected by computerised algorithm 11
  • 12. EXAMPLE OF MISSED ISCHEMIC EVENT #1 simulated lead (no ischemia present) simulated lead (ischemia present) derived lead (ischemia present) 12 GN derived
  • 13. EXAMPLE OF MISSED ISCHEMIC EVENT #1 simulated lead (no ischemia present) simulated lead (ischemia present) derived lead (ischemia present) 25mm/s; 10mm/mV 13
  • 14. CONCLUSION  Our simulations indicate • In absence of ischemic events PS derived leads are superior to GN derived ones • Superiority of PS approach is largely compromised in the presence of ischemic events  Findings raise questions about the superiority of PS approach used for continuous monitoring  Findings indicate the importance of evaluation of such systems on data that reflects pathological changes  Follow-up research based on real patient data is currently under way 14
