Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional electrocardiogram-based methods for screening cardiac ventricular hypertrophy (VH) have low sensitivity and are unreliable, particularly for right VH, as they rely solely on 12-lead electrocardiogram data.

Innovation Solution

A system using machine learning techniques to establish a model for VH screening by combining physiological parameters and electrocardiographic parameters, employing support vector machine algorithms and normalization methods to enhance data balance and model accuracy.

AI summary

A system for establishing a model for cardiac ventricular hypertrophy (VH) screening includes a storage and a processor. The storage stores multiple pieces of subject data respectively associated with multiple subjects. Each of the pieces of subject data contains a basic physiological parameter group, an electrocardiographic parameter group, and an actual VH condition that corresponds to a left or right ventricle of the subject associated with the piece of subject data. The processor is electrically connected to the storage, splits the pieces of subject data into a training set and a test set, and establishes the model for VH screening based on the pieces of subject data in the training set by using machine learning techniques.
