Aims:
Left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony lengthens the left ventricular electrical delay (LVED), measured from QRS onset to the first peak of the LV electrogram. We constructed an ECG model to predict LVED noninvasively.
Methods:
Intrapatient LVED was measured during a baseline vs nonselective His bundle pacing (nHBP) protocol. This setup provided paired synchronic/non-synchronic LVEDs, allowing intrapatient comparisons. Crosscorrelation of leads II and V6 was accomplished and extracted features together with age and gender fed a linear mixed effects model to predict LVED.
Results:
Hemodynamic increments were consistent with LVED advances under nHBP in a subset of 17 patients (dP/dtmax, baseline: 938.82 ± 241.95 mm Hg/s vs nHBP: 1034.94 ± 253.63 mm Hg/s, p = 6.24e-4). The inclusion of the area under V6 (AV 6) and the time shift of R-peaks obtained from the crosscorrelation signal (CorS) grouped by patient significantly improved LVED estimation with respect to the model based only on QRS duration, age and gender (p = 1.7e-5).
Conclusions:
Interlead ECG changes explained LVED, providing clues about the electrical impulse conduction within the left ventricle noninvasively.

Components of the Electrocardiogram
The primary components of a normal ECG waveform in Normal sinus rhythm(NSR) include the P wave, PR interval, QRS complex, ST segment, T wave, and occasionally a U wave.
ECG waveforms are divided by vertical and horizontal lines at standard intervals.
The horizontal axis measures time and rate, and the vertical axis measures amplitude or voltage....

01:03Prediction Intervals
However, the point estimate is most likely not the exact value of the population parameter, but close to it. After calculating point estimates, we construct interval estimates, called confidence intervals or prediction intervals. This prediction interval comprises a range of values unlike the point estimate and is a better predictor of the observed sample value, y.
01:25Correlation between ECG and Cardiac Cycle
A cardiac action potential originates in the SA node and spreads throughout the atria and the AV node in approximately 0.03 seconds. This results in the P wave in an ECG and triggers atrial contraction. The action potential is then briefly slowed at the AV node, allowing the atria to contract and fill the ventricles with blood before...
