Abstract

The generation and interpretation of normal and abnormal electrocardiograms (ECGs) through mathematical methods have been major areas of research for several decades. This paper presents a new mathematical function (the Tehran-Cairo formula), which, is capable of generating both normal 12-lead ECGs and abnormal ECG patterns. In addition, the 7th wave of the ECG (or the V-wave) is introduced. It has been defined mathematically, and there is also some electrophysiological evidence in favour of its existence. In this dynamic 2D model of ECG, each ECG permutation of a disease can be approximated through the equations. The parametric approach of the function allows replication of the electric signatures of cardiovascular disease
