Abstract
Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a noninvasive, economic, and convenient detecting tool in myocardial ischemia (MI), and its clinical appearance is mainly exhibited by ST-T complex changes. Recently, QRS complex characters in detecting MI were proposed by an increasing number of researchers. In this paper, various QRS complex characters were extracted in ECG, and their relationship was analyzed systematically. As a result, these characters were divided into two groups, and there was good correlation among them in each group, while the correlation between the groups was poor. Finally, these QRS complex characters were applied to myocardial ischemia, and five characters had significant differences after 59 normal ECG recordings verification, which were: QRS upward and downward slopes, transient heart rate, angle R and angle Q in a triangle QRS. Experimental results showed it was apparent that the trend changes of these five characters when MI events occurred were consistent with their relationship. The conduction velocity of action potentials in ventricular depolarization is slower in MI states than in normal states.
