System and method for predicting the onset of heart disease using fractal analysis.

摘要

A method for predicting cardiac pathology comprising the steps of: acquiring a plurality of lead values ​​as a function of time for a set of lead electrocardiogram; defining a spatial curve from the lead values ​​of at least three leads; characterized by calculating a fractal index as a function of time for the spatial curve; and monitor the rate of change of the fractal index, in which a negative rate of temporal change of the fractal index is indicative of normal cardiac activity and a positive rate of temporal change of the fractal index is indicative of a pathological cardiac activity.
