Conversion of the ambulatory ECG to the standard 12-lead ECG: a preliminary study

The ambulatory ECG has been an important tool for diagnosis of arrhythmias. A recent trend is to use 12-lead ambulatory ECG for diagnosis of myocardial ischemia with ST abnormalities. To overcome the gap between the diagnosis methodology of the ambulatory ECG and the standard 12-lead ECG, a compromised strategy is conducted to convert the ambulatory ECG to the standard 12-lead ECG. Through evaluations, a satisfying result is obtained that the standard 12-lead ECG can be well approached by the seated 12-lead ECG. This preliminary study may play an important role on the clinic diagnosis of the ambulatory ECG.
