A METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR VECTOR ANALYSIS OF ELECTROCARDIOGRAM IN ASSESSMENT OF RISK OF SUDDEN CARDIAC DEATH (SCD) DUE TO ARRHYTHMOGENIC RIGHT VENTRICULAR DYSPLASIA/CARDIOMYOPATHY BY QUANTIFYING MICRO SCARS (I.E. "BITES") IN THREE DIMENSIONAL VECTOR LOOPS
Subject matter of the invention are a method and a system to provide diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia—ARVC/D (and similar inherited conditions) that cause sudden cardiac death in otherwise healthy population. Innovative approach in this analysis is possibility to detect so called frusta forms or clinically silent forms. After recording on any ECG standard device, vector analysis is manipulated in strictly defined fashion. The shape and size of QRS complex seen in arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy is determined by the direction and magnitude of the spatially oriented electrical forces that have one common beginning those concerning vector bites. Besides one pathognomonic place there is a triangle of dysplasia to look for. The subject matter of the invention greatly increases the sensitivity and specificity of standard ECG device for early detection with a high likelihood ratio of certainty for a positive diagnosis.
