QT dispersion was originally proposed to measure spatial dispersion of ventricular recovery
times. Later, it was shown that QT dispersion does not directly reflect the dispersion of …

This paper reviews the current status of principal component analysis in the area of ECG
signal processing. The fundamentals of PCA are briefly described and the relationship …

Reduced rainfall increases the risk of forest dieback, while in return forest loss might
intensify regional droughts. The consequences of this vegetation–atmosphere feedback for …

Block of the hERG potassium channel and prolongation of the QT interval are predictors of
drug‐induced torsade de pointes. However, drugs that block the hERG potassium channel …

Cardiac arrhythmia is one of the prime reasons for death globally. Early diagnosis of heart
arrhythmia is crucial to provide timely medical treatment. Heart arrhythmias are diagnosed …

Aims The aim of this study was to assess the prognostic importance of the spatial QRS-T
angle for fatal and non-fatal cardiac events. Methods and results Electrocardiograms (ECGs) …

Signal processing today is performed in the vast majority of systems for ECG analysis and
interpretation. The objective of ECG signal processing is manifold and comprises the …

Assessment of proarrhythmic toxicity of newly developed drugs attracts significant attention
from drug developers and regulatory agencies. Although no guidelines exist for such …

Background—The stratification of post–myocardial infarction (MI) patients at risk of sudden
cardiac death remains important. The aim of the present study was to assess the prognostic …

Background Congenital long QT syndrome type 2 (abnormal hERG potassium channel)
patients can develop flat, asymmetric, and notched T waves. Similar observations have been …
