Modeling and Computer simulation of a possible prognostic analysis of the biomechanical dynamics of cardiovascular diseases using electrocardiogram

ORAL

Abstract

Modeling is the attempt to mimic reality in a controlled scenario and therefore has become a powerful multidisciplinary tool of computer approaches in various fields. In studying diseases, one modeling strategy is to assume that the biological behaviour of the presence of the disease in the infected person (IP) can be physically described as the superposition of the characteristic wave of the disease on the characteristic wave of the healthy person (HP); characteristic wave here means a wave that has all the wave characteristics of the source wave. For cardiovascular diseases (CVA), the resultant superposed wave which encompasses their biomechanical dynamics are depicted in the electrocardiograms (ECG) of the IPs. In this study, we demonstrated that by simulating the decomposition of these ECG into the characteristic waves of the HP and CVA, it is possible to determine the prognostic analysis of the latter from their biomechanical dynamics. The implication of this computer approach is then discussed.
