Abstract:
In this study, a method for determining the location and extent of myocardial infarction using Body Surface Potential Map data of PhysioNet challenge 2007 database is presented. This data is related to four patients with myocardial infarction. We used two patients as training set to determine rules and two other patients as testing set of the proposed model. First, T-wave amplitude, T-wave integral, Q-wave amplitude and R-wave amplitude as four features of ECG signals were extracted. Then we defined several rules and proper thresholds for localization and determining the extent of myocardial infarction. To determine the precise location and extent of myocardial infarction, 17-segment standard model of left ventricle was used. Finally, overall accuracy of this method was shown with SO, CED and EPD parameters. We obtained 1.16, 1 and 5.3952 for SO, CED and EPD, respectively, in our test data. Two main advantages of this method are simplicity and high accuracy.

An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a diagnostic tool for identifying cardiac conditions such as arrhythmias, conduction abnormalities, and myocardial ischemia.
Definition
An electrocardiogram (ECG) visualizes the heart's electrical activity by tracing the electrical movement associated with each heartbeat on a graph or monitor. As the heart beats, an electrical wave passes through it, correlating with the cardiac cycle events.
