Systems and methods for diagnosing cardiovascular conditions

摘要

In one embodiment, a cardiovascular condition is diagnosed by recording a vectorcardiogram for a subject under evaluation, comparing the vectorcardiogram with vectorcardiograms of other subjects, and diagnosing the subject under evaluation based upon the comparison.

1. A method for diagnosing a cardiovascular condition, the method comprising:
recording a vectorcardiogram for a subject under evaluation to obtain a functional recording; comparing the functional recording with functional recordings of other subjects by:
measuring spatiotemporal distances between the functional recordings,creating a dissimilarity matrix of the measured spatiotemporal distances,extracting feature vectors from the dissimilarity matrix, andembedding the feature vectors in a high-dimensional space that preserves the distances between the functional recordings; and diagnosing the subject under evaluation based upon the comparison.
