Research line

Diagnosis, monitoring, quantification and risk stratification of cardiac dysfunctions from automatic analysis of multilead ECG, including:

  1. Automatic ECG wave delineation and characterization
  2. Detection and monitoring of cardiac ischemia
  3. Identification of repolarization alternans, as a marker of arrhythmic risk
  4. Study of the relationship between heart rate and the repolarization morphology and duration (T wave, QT interval) in stationary and non-stationary scenarios, as a marker of arrhythmic risk
