Area of Science:

Cardiology
Biomedical Engineering
Data Science

Background:

Holter monitor evaluation is complex.
Diagnostic support tools leveraging probability theory and dynamic systems can simplify this process.
Existing methods may lack accuracy in differentiating various cardiac dynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate a diagnostic support tool for cardiac dynamics analysis.
To differentiate between normal, chronic, acute, and pacemaker cardiac conditions using frequency ranges and probability theory.
To assess the tool's diagnostic performance in terms of sensitivity, specificity, and kappa coefficient.

Main Methods:

A study involving 80 Holter tests (over 21 hours each) from adult patients.
Development of four prototypes based on normal, chronic, acute, and pacemaker diagnoses.
Application of probability theory to frequency repetition ranges (1000-2000 and 2001-3000 Hz) within a defined heart rate probability space.
Blinded analysis of remaining Holter tests using the developed methodology.

Main Results:

The diagnostic tool demonstrated high accuracy in differentiating cardiac dynamics.
Sensitivity, specificity, and kappa coefficient were calculated to be 1.
Probability analysis across different frequency ranges effectively distinguished normal from abnormal (chronic, acute, pacemaker) cardiac states.

Conclusions:

A novel diagnostic support tool for cardiac dynamics has been successfully developed.
The tool utilizes frequency range appearance and probability theory for clinical applications.
The developed tool enables accurate differentiation of normal, chronic, acute, and pacemaker cardiac dynamics.
