Background: The nondipolar components of the T wave have been assumed to reflect a local repolarization inhomogeneity. The aim of this study is 2-fold: to find the relationship between the nondipolar components and the signal-to-noise ratio of electrocardiograms (ECGs), and also to find if they can be used as additional features for stratifying patients with chest pain in a computerized ECG interpretation algorithm.
Methods: Using principal component analysis, the ST-T segment of ...
