A new shortest path algorithm-based method simulates the effects of reduced propagation velocity within an ischemic zone on myocardial depolarization timing and resulting ECG changes.
A novel simulation method based on the shortest path algorithm can model ECG changes during the early phase of acute myocardial ischemia.

Enables modeling of ischemia-induced ECG changes; hypothesis-generating and requires clinical validation before any diagnostic use.
In this paper the changes in ECG waveforms during the first 20 minutes of an ischemic event are studied in a simulation model. A new method, based on the shortest path algorithm, is introduced for simulating the effects of the reduced propagation velocity within an ischemic zone on the timing of the depolarization sequence throughout the entire myocardium and the resulting ECG changes.
