RODRIGUEZ, Javier e RAMIREZ, Leonardo. Diagnostic confirmation of the methodology designed to evaluate the Holter registers for 18 hours through proportional entropy. Rev. Colomb. Cardiol. [online]. 2021, vol.28, n.2, pp.136-145. Epub 10-Jun-2021. ISSN 0120-5633. https://doi.org/10.24875/rccar.m21000027.
Introduction:
Dynamic systems, entropy and probability have contributed significantly in the development of new methodologies that characterize the degree of complexity of cardiac dynamics.
Objective:
To confirm the clinical applicability of the methodology based on the theory of dynamic systems, probability and entropy to evaluate cardiac dynamics during 18 hours.
Material and methods:
570 normal Holter records with different pathologies were taken. For each one an attractor was built on the delay map and the probability of occupation of ordered pairs of heart rates during 18 hours was evaluated, as well as the entropy and its proportions. The measurements obtained were compared with the values of normality and illness established previously to obtain the mathematical diagnosis of each Holter. The conclusions of the Holter were unblinded after having applied the physical-mathematical methodology to calculate sensitivity, specificity and Kappa coefficient with respect to the Gold-Standard.
Results:
With the proportions of the entropy of the attractors, acute, chronic, normal, and evolution cardiac dynamics were differentiated between these states. the application of the methodology showed a sensitivity and specificity of 100 %. The agreement between the Gold-Standard and the physical-mathematical diagnosis evaluated with the kappa coefficient was 1.
Conclusions:
This study confirms that the applied methodology manages to objectively diagnose cardiac dynamics, establishing predictions of normality states or the level of aggravation of the dynamics, evidencing the applicability of this methodology, suggesting its potential use in the clinical context.
