Abstract

The recently introduced geometrical cardiogram (GCG) is an anatomically aligned helical vector, normalized to the size of the heart, that characterizes the three-dimensional instantaneous shape of the left ventricle. It is shown that the spectrum obtained by applying a Fourier sine series expansion to the end-systolic (ES) GCG can be utilized to classify normal, hypertension/hypertrophic (HT), and infarcted (MI) hearts. No human intervention is required once the endocardial contours are traced. The demonstrated high discriminatory potential of the |A1| and GR8 parameters implies that a fully automated diagnostic procedure is potentially obtainable.
