Abstract: The present disclosure uses physiological data, ECG signals as an example, to evaluate cardiac structure and function in mammals. Two approaches are presented, e.g., a model-based analysis and a space-time analysis. The first method uses a modified Matching Pursuit (MMP) algorithm to find a noiseless model of the ECG data that is sparse and does not assume periodicity of the signal. After the model is derived, various metrics and subspaces are extracted to image and characterize cardiovascular tissues using complex-sub-harmonic-frequencies (CSF) quasi-periodic and other mathematical methods. In the second method, space-time domain is divided into a number of regions, the density of the ECG signal is computed in each region and inputted into a learning algorithm to image and characterize the tissues.

Abstract: The exemplified methods and systems facilitate one or more dynamical analyses that can characterize and identify synchronicity between acquired cardiac signals and photoplethysmographic signals to predict/estimate presence, non-presence, localization, and/or severity of abnormal cardiovascular conditions or disease, including, for example, but not limited to, coronary artery disease, heart failure (including but not limited to indicators of disease or conduction such as abnormal left ventricular end-diastolic pressure disease), and pulmonary hypertension, among others. In some embodiments, statistical properties of the synchronicity between cardiac signals and photoplethysmographic signals are evaluated. In some embodiments, statistical properties of histogram of synchronicity between cardiac signals and photoplethysmographic signals are evaluated.

Abstract: The exemplified methods and systems facilitate one or more dynamical analyses that can characterize and identify nonlinear dynamical properties (such as Lyapunov exponent (LE), correlation dimension, entropy (K2), or statistical and/or geometric properties derived from Poincaré maps, etc.) of biophysical signals such as photoplethysmographic signals and/or cardiac signals to predict presence and/or localization of a disease or condition, or indicator of one, including, for example, but not limited to, coronary artery disease, heart failure (including but not limited to elevated or abnormal left ventricular end-diastolic pressure disease) and pulmonary hypertension, among others.

Abstract: The present disclosure facilitates capture of biosignal such as biopotential signals in microvolts, or sub-microvolts, resolutions that are at, or significantly below, the noise-floor of conventional electrocardiographic and biosignal acquisition instruments. In some embodiments, the exemplified system disclosed herein facilitates the acquisition and recording of wide-band phase gradient signals (e.g., wide-band cardiac phase gradient signals, wide-band cerebral phase gradient signals) that are simultaneously sampled, in some embodiments, having a temporal skew less than about 1 ?s, and in other embodiments, having a temporal skew not more than about 10 femtoseconds. Notably, the exemplified system minimizes non-linear distortions (e.g., those that can be introduced via certain filters) in the acquired wide-band phase gradient signal so as to not affect the information therein.

Abstract: Systems and methods for the quantification of the quality of an acquired signal are provided for assessment and for gating the acquired signal for subsequent analysis. A signal is acquired, and a determination is made in real-time if there is a problem with the acquisition (e.g., if the acquired signal is acceptable or unacceptable; is of sufficient quality for subsequent assessment). If there is a problem, output is provided via the systems and methods described herein to indicate that signal acquisition needs to be performed again (e.g., if the acquired signal is unacceptable, reject the acquired signal and acquire a new signal).

Abstract: The exemplified methods and systems facilitate the configuration and training of a neural network (e.g., a deep neural network, a convolutional neural network (CNN), etc.), or ensemble(s) thereof, with a biophysical signal data set to ascertain estimate for the presence or non-presence of disease or pathology in a subject as well as to assess and/or classify disease or pathology, including for example in some cases the severity of such disease or pathology, in a subject. In the context of the heart, the methods and systems described herein facilitate the configuration and training of a neural network, or ensemble(s) thereof, with a cardiac signal data set to ascertain estimate for the presence or non-presence of coronary artery disease or coronary pathology.

Abstract: The exemplified methods and systems employs non-invasively acquired biophysical measurements of a subject in a residue analysis that is structured as a three-dimensional volumetric object to which machine extractable features associated with a geometric associated aspect of the three-dimensional volumetric object may be derived and used for in the training and/or prediction of a disease state. The system generates a residue model from a point-cloud residue generated from an analysis of the plurality of biophysical signal data sets. The system generates a three-dimensional volumetric object from the point-cloud residue from which machine extractable features associated with the point-cloud residue maybe extracted.

Abstract: The present disclosure facilitates the evaluation of wide-band phase gradient information of the heart tissue to assess, e.g., the presence of heart ischemic heart disease. Notably, the present disclosure provides an improved and efficient method to identify and risk stratify coronary stenosis of the heart using a high resolution and wide-band cardiac gradient obtained from the patient. The patient data are derived from the cardiac gradient waveforms across one or more leads, in some embodiments, resulting in high-dimensional data and long cardiac gradient records that exhibit complex nonlinear variability. Space-time analysis, via numeric wavelet operators, is used to study the morphology of the cardiac gradient data as a phase space dataset by extracting dynamical and geometrical properties from the phase space dataset.

Abstract: The exemplified methods and systems described herein facilitate the quantification and/or removal of asynchronous noise, such as muscle artifact noise contamination, to more accurately assess complex nonlinear variabilities in quasi-periodic biophysical-signal systems such as those in acquired cardiac signals, brain signals, etc.

Abstract: The exemplified methods and systems provide a phase space volumetric object in which the dynamics of a complex, quasi-periodic system, such as the electrical conduction patterns of the heart, or other biophysical-acquired signals of other organs, are represented as an image of a three dimensional volume having both a volumetric structure (e.g., a three dimensional structure) and a color map to which features can be extracted that are indicative the presence and/or absence of pathologies, e.g., ischemia relating to significant coronary arterial disease (CAD). In some embodiments, the phase space volumetric object can be assessed to extract topographic and geometric parameters that are used in models that determine indications of presence or non-presence of significant coronary artery disease.

Abstract: The exemplified intrinsic phase space tomography methods and systems facilitate the analysis and evaluation of complex, quasi-periodic system by generating computed phase-space tomographic images as a representation of the dynamics of the quasi-periodic cardiac systems. The computed phase-space tomographic images can be presented to a physician to assist in the assessment of presence or non-presence of disease. In some embodiments, the phase space tomographic images are used as input to a trained neural network classifier configured to assess for presence or non-presence of significant coronary artery disease.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to systems and method of a noninvasive electrocardiographic (ECG) technique for characterizing cardiac chamber size and cardiac mechanical function. A mathematical analysis of three-dimensional (3D) high resolution ECG data may be used to estimate chamber size and cardiac mechanical function. For example, high-resolution mammalian ECG signals are analyzed across multiple leads, as 3D orthogonal (X,Y,Z) or 10-channel data for 30 to 1400 seconds to derive estimates of cardiac chamber size and cardiac mechanical function. Multiple mathematical approaches may be used to analyze the dynamical and geometrical properties of the ECG data.
