The discrete Hermite functions are generated as eigenvectors of a symmetric tridiagonal matrix that commutes with the centered Fourier matrix. The Discrete Hermite Transform (DHmT) values are computed from a simple dot product between an individual ECG complex extracted from the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) ST-T database and the corresponding discrete Hermite function. These values are found to contain information about the ECG shape, highlighting changes between ST segment and T wave alterations which are the features of ischemic episodes. This information from the discrete Hermite transform, based on an orthonormal set of n-dimensional digital Hermite functions that serve as shape-identification functions, can be used to identify ischemic episodes from the ECG. The performance was analyzed in terms of sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive value. 2011-09-22 English text University of Akron / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=akron1313529081 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=akron1313529081 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
