Constructional Features of a Multielectrode Electrocardiology Screening System.

The challenges of constructing a noninvasive screening system for electrocardiodiagnostics, focused on visualization of electric potential maps on the surface of the epicardium, is addressed. A functional diagram of a module for recording multiple-lead electrocardiosignals is proposed, the essential component of which is a vest (in several standard sizes) worn by the subject and carrying pre-installed electrodes. Results obtained from experimental verification of the operation of the recording module are presented.

Conversion from electrocardiosignals to equivalent electrical sources on heart surface.

Background: The actual task of electrocardiographic examinations is to increase the reliability of diagnosing the condition of the heart. Within the framework of this task, an important direction is the solution of the inverse problem of electrocardiography, based on the processing of electrocardiographic signals of multichannel cardio leads at known electrode coordinates in these leads (Titomir et al. Noninvasiv electrocardiotopography, 2003), (Macfarlane et al.

[A system of electrode arrangement for measurement of the coordinates of sources in the myocardium area].

A system of electrode arrangement for localization of zones of small depolarization abnormalities in human myocardium is suggested. Standard electrodes R, L, F and Frank electrodes H, M compatible with standard methods of examination. The total number of electrodes in the system is 15.

[Estimation of electrode arrangement efficiency in measurement of coordinates of dipolar myocardium sources].

Identification of early disturbances in the process of myocardium depolarization and localization of coordinates of these disturbances in the heart contour is an urgent problem of modern electrocardiography. To solve this problem, it is necessary to identify signals of small disturbances in the depolarization process related to particular zones of disturbances in myocardium. Then, the identified signals are used to calculate the disturbance coordinates.
