Project of open-source software platform for sudden cardiac death (SCD) risk stratification and advanced ECG analysis

Streszczenie. Artykul prezentuje glowny cel projektu, ktorym jest opracowanie otwartej platformy do stratyfikacji ryzyka naglego zgonu sercowego w oparciu o przebiegi EKG z zapisow holterowskich na postawie znanych i zweryfikowanych klinicznie wskaźnikow: mikrowoltowej naprzemienności zalamka T, turbulencji rytmu serca, zmienności rytmu zatokowego i wspolczynnika akceleracji/deceleracji rytmu serca. (Projekt otwartej platformy do stratyfikacji ryzyka naglego zgonu sercowego w oparciu o zaawansowaną analize przebiegow EKG.) Abstract. This paper presents the main goal of the "Sudden Cardiac Death risk stratification based on functional assessment of autonomic nervous system with the use of Holter methods" project, which is development of unified, generally available, extendable, open-source software platform for ECG signal analysis from numerous types of Holter recorders, allowing for high-risk markers assessment. Realization of this project would greatly simplify selection of high-risk patients.
