Abstract

Correlation dimensionsD 2 of the synchronous 12-lead ECG signals have been investigated for the first time by distributed multi-sensor (multi-electrode) technique. The results show that correlation dimension of heart has the distributed characteristics.D 2 calculated from different lead ECG signals is not a constant regardless of a healthy person or a coronary heart disease (CHD) patient with sinus rhythm. But with the same lead signal,D 2 of CHD patients is evidently smaller than that of a healthy person except I, II, III leads. A healthy person and CHD patient can be identified byD 2 statistically andD 2 shows the potential application in the diagnosis of the CHD patients.
