RODRIGUEZ, Javier et al. Fractal Diagnostic Generalization of the Left Ventricular Cardiac Morphology: Moderate and Severe Abnormalities from Ventriculogram. Univ. Med. [online]. 2018, vol.59, n.1, pp.19-27. ISSN 0041-9095. https://doi.org/10.11144/javeriana.umed59-1.gdfm.
Introduction:
Cardiac irregularity is adequately described by means of fractal geometry, which was the basis for the development of a diagnosis of the left ventriculogram.
Methods:
All possible permutations of similarity degrees from fractal dimensions were simulated for the ventricle in systole, diastole and the totality. Permutations were defined between the previously established minimum and maximum values of similarity degrees for moderate and severe abnormality.
Results:
The total number of ventricular prototypes between moderate and severe abnormality was established. The total number of possible ventricular structure prototypes is 1614: 794 ventricles with moderate abnormality and 820 with severe abnormality. Previous measurements of ventricles with a diagnosis of moderate and severe abnormality were found within the generalization.
Conclusions:
An objective geometric methodology was developed, which is of diagnostic aid in the clinical practice. It determined all possible left ventricular structures with moderate and severe abnormality, independently of clinical classifications.
