Analyzing repolarization dynamics from ambulatory ECGs is challenging. Combining time and frequency domain analyses with baseline drift control offers a reliable method for tracking subtle repolarization changes, like T-wave alternans.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Signal Processing

Background:

  • Ambulatory electrocardiography (Holter monitoring) enables tracking repolarization dynamics during daily activities.
  • Analyzing low-amplitude repolarization changes is difficult due to artifacts, variable activity, and uncontrolled factors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare methods for continuous repolarization dynamics analysis using simulated and real Holter data.
  • To evaluate techniques for tracking temporal repolarization instabilities, specifically T-wave alternans (TWA).

Main Methods:

  • Applied adaptive filtering for baseline wander correction.
  • Utilized simulated signals with varied heart rates, TWA levels, noise, and artifacts.
  • Compared spectral and time-domain techniques, including inter-beat and intra-beat averaging.

  • Incorporated surrogate analysis for baseline drift control.

    • Main Results:

    • Adaptive filtering provided more accurate baseline correction than non-adaptive methods.
    • Combined time and frequency domain analyses with baseline control yielded more reliable repolarization dynamics estimates.
    • Time-frequency analysis detected abrupt and transient repolarization instabilities, including TWA changes.

    Conclusions:

    • Dynamic tracking of low-amplitude repolarization changes in ambulatory recordings is feasible.
    • Accurate control of baseline wander and isoelectric segment stability are crucial.
    • Time-frequency analysis aids in detecting transient repolarization instabilities.
