This study introduces a dynamical model to generate realistic synthetic electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. The model incorporates heart rate variability and PQRST morphology, aiding in the assessment of ECG signal processing techniques.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Physiological Modeling
  • Cardiovascular Signal Processing

Background:

  • Realistic synthetic electrocardiogram (ECG) signals are crucial for developing and validating signal processing algorithms.
  • Existing models may not fully capture the complex beat-to-beat variations observed in human ECG signals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel dynamical model for generating realistic synthetic ECG signals.
  • To incorporate key physiological variations like heart rate variability and PQRST morphology into the synthetic signals.

Main Methods:

  • A dynamical model based on three coupled ordinary differential equations was developed.
  • The model allows user specification of heart rate parameters, PQRST cycle morphology, and RR tachogram power spectrum.

  • Respiratory sinus arrhythmia (HF) and Mayer waves (LF) were explicitly included.

    • Main Results:

    • The model successfully generates realistic synthetic ECG signals.
    • Beat-to-beat variations, including QT dispersion and R-peak amplitude modulation, were reproduced.
    • The model captures both high-frequency and low-frequency components of heart rate variability (LF/HF ratio).

    Conclusions:

    • The developed dynamical model provides a valuable tool for creating synthetic ECG data.
    • This model can be used to rigorously assess biomedical signal processing techniques for clinical statistics extraction from ECG.
    • The incorporation of physiological variability enhances the realism and utility of the synthetic ECG signals.
