Efficient electrocardiogram generation based on cardiac electric vector simulation model.

This study introduces a novel Cardiac Electric Vector Simulation Model (CEVSM) to address the computational inefficiencies and low fidelity of traditional electrophysiological models in generating electrocardiograms (ECGs). Our approach leverages CEVSM to efficiently produce reliable ECG samples, facilitating data augmentation essential for the computer-aided diagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI). Significantly, experimental results show that our model dramatically reduces computation time compared to conventional models, with the self-adapting regression transformation matrix method (SRTM) providing clear advantages. SRTM not only achieves high fidelity in ECG simulations but also ensures exceptional consistency with the gold standard method, greatly enhancing MI localization accuracy by data augmentation. These advancements highlight the potential of our model to generate dependable ECG training samples, making it highly suitable for data augmentation and significantly advancing the development and validation of intelligent MI diagnostic systems. Furthermore, this study demonstrates the feasibility of applying life system simulations in the training of medical big models.

[A review on intelligent auxiliary diagnosis methods based on electrocardiograms for myocardial infarction].

Myocardial infarction (MI) has the characteristics of high mortality rate, strong suddenness and invisibility. There are problems such as the delayed diagnosis, misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis in clinical practice. Electrocardiogram (ECG) examination is the simplest and fastest way to diagnose MI. The research on MI intelligent auxiliary diagnosis based on ECG is of great significance. On the basis of the pathophysiological mechanism of MI and characteristic changes in ECG, feature point extraction and morphology recognition of ECG, along with intelligent auxiliary diagnosis method of MI based on machine learning and deep learning are all summarized. The models, datasets, the number of ECG, the number of leads, input modes, evaluation methods and effects of different methods are compared. Finally, future research directions and development trends are pointed out, including data enhancement of MI, feature points and dynamic features extraction of ECG, the generalization and clinical interpretability of models, which are expected to provide references for researchers in related fields of MI intelligent auxiliary diagnosis.

An ECG generative model of myocardial infarction.

Background and Objective Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) of Myocardial Infarction (MI) using machine learning depends on a large amount of clinical Electrocardiogram (ECG) data. Existing infarct ECG databases face the problem of class imbalance. Data augmentation using generative simulation models is a new approach to effectively address this problem. Methods A multiscale ECG generative model was established for ECG data augmentation. In the cellular layer, an ischemic Action Potential (AP) model was established to generate APs in cardiomyocytes with different transmural regions of infraction or different ischemic durations. In the tissue layer, a probability-driven cellular automata excitation propagation model was established to simulate the propagation speed and direction of excitation. An infarct tissue model and a coronary artery model were established to describe the spatiotemporal diversity of MI. A ventricle model, a human torso model, and a computational model of surface ECG based on field source theory were established in the heart-torso layer. Results The model generated pathological 12-lead ECGs of MI with different topography and different extent. When simulating different ventricular wall infarction, the lesions appear in the same leads as the clinical 12-lead ECG. The ST-segment decreases and the T-wave amplitude decreases, similar to the clinical ECG features when simulating subendocardial ischemia. The average fidelity of the 12-lead ECG the model generated is 95.6%, according to the designed DTW-GRA distance algorithm. Conclusions The generative model considers the electrophysiological properties of the natural heart, the pathology of myocardial infarction, and the diversity of clinical ECGs. The model can provide many reliable samples for machine learning of MI.
