150 healthy male pilots, aged 22-46 years (31 +/- 5) were examined with the HBD-II A instrument. The results showed that vectorcardiogram (VCG) parameters of pilots were within the normal value by clinical diagnosis standard of VCG, but some indexes of VCG appeared different from the normal people, these might be the characteristics of VCG of pilots. The present study provided some new parameters of VCG such as P loop. The results of this study may be used for pilots selection and real-time medical monitoring for pilots on ground training.

Aims: To objectively characterize the spatial-velocity dynamics of the QRS-loop in the vectorcardiogram (VCG) of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
Methods: VCG was constructed as a space curve directly with three quasi-orthogonal leads I, aVF and V2 recorded by conventional ECG of 25 healthy individuals and 50 AMI patients. Spatial velocity (SV) of the dynamic QRS loop, spatial distance (SD), and spatial magnitude (SM) were recorded, along with axis-specific component attributes of vector magnitude such as ΔX, ΔY, and ΔZ.

Background: The Electrocardiogram (ECG) can be visualised either in a scalar form, as waves in the standard 12‑lead ECG, or vectorially, as vector loops in different planes in the Vectorcardiogram (VCG). An Electro-Vectorcardiogram (ECG-VCG) is a graphic visualization combining scalar and vector ECGs. We aimed to assess if integrating the scalar 12‑lead ECG and vector ECG makes ECG interpretation by medical students more accurate, faster, and easier than using 12‑lead ECG alone.

Background: Manually derived electrocardiographic (ECG) parameters were not associated with mortality in mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients in earlier studies, while increased high-sensitivity cardiac troponin-T (hs-cTnT) and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) were. To provide evidence for vectorcardiography (VCG) measures as potential cardiac monitoring tool, we investigated VCG trajectories during critical illness.
Methods: All mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients were included in the Maastricht Intensive Care Covid Cohort between March 2020 and October 2021.

Background: The prognosis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is poor once it develops to the stage of cardiac impairment. Recent studies have demonstrated that electrocardiogram (ECG), which consists of general ECG and vectorcardiogram (VCG), retains an extremely powerful role in the assessment of patients with reduced left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction. However, data regarding VCG recordings in DMD and its prognostic value for reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of DMD have never been reported.

Even though the electrocardiogram (ECG) has potential to be used as a monitoring or diagnostic tool for fetuses, the use of non-invasive fetal ECG is complicated by relatively high amounts of noise and fetal movement during the measurement. Moreover, machine learning-based solutions to this problem struggle with the lack of clean reference data, which is difficult to obtain. To solve these problems, this work aims to incorporate fetal rotation correction with ECG denoising into a single unsupervised end-to-end trainable method.
