10.5.5 Fourth Refinement: Assess for Pathologic Q-wave
This refinement only introduces new guidelines to interpret Q-wave feature of the
ECG signal and assessment-related diseases to the Q-wave and R-wave [
16
]. Some
new variables are represented by a set of invariants (
inv
1-
inv
2) to handle the re-
quired features of the Q-wave and R-wave to diagnose the ECG signal. The func-
tions
Q_Normal_Status
and
R_Normal_Status
represent the normal state of the Q
and R-waves in a boolean type. The next three invariants (
inv
3-
inv
5) are used to de-
clare new variables in form of total functions mapping leads (LEADS) to
, and
an invariant (
inv
6) is also total function mapping leads (LEAD) to
BOOL
.The
functions
Q_Width
,
Q_Depth
and
R_Depth
calculate the Q-wave width, Q-wave
depth and R-wave depth, respectively. The last function
Q_Wave_State
represents
the boolean state of the Q-wave for all leads. Two other new variables
Age_of_Inf
and
Mice_State
represent infarction age and miscellaneous states. An enumerated
set of infarction age and miscellaneous states define as
Age_of_Infarct
N
=
{
recent
,
indeterminate
,
old
} and
Mice_State5
{
Exclude
_
Mimics
_
MI
,

_
transition
,
nor-
mal
_
variant
,
borderline
_
Qs
,
NMS
}, respectively in the context. The variable
Dis-
ease_step5
represents a group of diseases of this refinement level as analysis of the
Q-wave from the ECG signals. Some invariants (
inv
10-
inv
13) are introduced as rep-
resenting the safety properties to confirm an abnormal state of the heart (
KO
). All
invariants have similar form for checking the heart state under the various disease
conditions. These invariants state that if the sinus rhythm is
Ye s
and a new disease
is found, then the heart must be in the abnormal (
KO
) state.
