基于多时窗波束形成器方法的心脏磁场信号分析

提出了一种多时窗的波束形成器,可以从多通道心脏磁场测量数据中估计强、弱和持续时间长短不同的等效电流源.这种心脏电活动可视化技术将有助于相关心脏疾病的诊断.通过两个已知电流源的仿真实验说明了这种方法的可行性.并通过一个完全左束支传导阻滞和一个完全右束支传导阻滞病人的心脏QRS段磁场测量数据的源估计结果及其二维电兴奋传播图的比较,分析了用这种成像方法揭示的心脏电生理现象.

Magnetocardiac signal analysis based on multiple time windows beamformer method

A beamformer method based on multiple time windows is proposed to estimate the equivalent current sources of different strength and duration from multi-channel magnetocardiography data. This technique of visualizing cardiac electric activities will be a great help to the diagnosis of relevant heart diseases. Feasibility of this beamformer method has been proved by simulation experiments of two known sources. Source estimation results and two-dimensional excitation propagation diagrams of a complete left bundle branch block and a complete right bundle branch block patients during QRS complex are taken to be compared. The revealed characteristics of their electrophysiological phenomena are analyzed.
