    One of the key factors in assessing the health of heart muscles is measuring their ability to pump the blood out of ventricles in each contraction, which is called ejection fraction (EF). This factor is commonly estimated by a cardiologist when analyzing an echocardiogram, which is a time-consuming and expensive procedure that can also cause some inaccurate results. In this paper, we propose a numerical, short-time, and simple methodology to estimate the EF by calculating the areas and volume under ECG signals, which is a non-invasive, bedside heart monitoring procedure. We computed the areas and volume under the segments of normal ECG signals for 50 subjects by employing trapezoidal, Simpson’s, and Boole’s rules on three orthogonal planes of 12-lead ECG signal directions and five groups of leads for sagittal, frontal and transverse planes. We found a significant correlati.. Read More»
