Material and methodsStarting from 180 ambulatory and continuous electrocardiographic records between normal and pathological patients, a heart rate sequence was simulated for 16 and 21h with values of heart rate and beats per hour of each record, to construct the attractor of each dynamic. Later, the fractal dimension of each attractor and its occupation in the generalized space of Box-Counting was calculated. Finally, the mathematical diagnosis was determined at 16 and 21h and sensitivity, specificity and Kappa coefficient were calculated respectively to the conventional diagnostic taken as the gold standard. ResultsIt was possible to establish that the values between 206 and 349 for the Kp grid were associated with normal diagnoses, while values between 36 and 194 were related to disease in 16h. Sensitivity and specificity were 100%, and the Kappa coefficient was 1. ConclusionThe application of the exponential mathematical law to electrocardiographic registers in 16h allowed us to establish correct diagnoses of clinical applicability. ER -
