Abstrakt: Background: A new system of synthesizing a 12-lead electrocardiogram (Syn-ECG) with practically identical waveforms to the standard 12-lead ECG (Stn-ECG) from 3-channel ECGs recorded by Holter monitoring has been developed.
Methods and Results: The study group comprised 16 healthy individuals and 13 patients with abnormal ECGs. The bipolar eV1, eV5 and eVF leads were recorded using digital Holter monitoring and nine Syn-ECGs, corresponding to each lead of the Stn-ECG, were synthesized. The 9 ECGs consisted of a theoretical Syn-ECG and 8 Syn-ECGs positioned around the theoretical Syn-ECG at 3 cm intervals on the Frank's image surface. Of the 9 ECGs, the Syn-ECG with the maximum product of the cross-correlation coefficient of the QRS wave and that of the T wave, was automatically selected as the optimal Syn-ECG. The amplitude data from the QRS wave, R wave, T wave, and ST level, and also the amplitude ratio of the R wave, T wave to the QRS wave, were significantly well correlated between the Syn-ECG and Stn-ECG.
Conclusions: A practically identical ECG morphology, comparable with a Stn-ECG, was successfully created using this system.
