Comparison of Baseline Wander Removal Techniques considering the Preservation of ST Changes in the Ischemic ECG: A Simulation Study

Figure 2

Demonstration of the three torso models and one example per torso of an ischemic ECG. (a), (b), and (c) torso model and electrode placement of the first, second, and third geometry used in the study. (d) Simulated ECG (Wilson lead V5) with ST depression using the torso model displayed in (a). This ECG is the result of a transmural ischemia with a radius of 20 mm and located in AHA segment 14. (e) Simulated ECG (Einthoven lead I) with ST elevation using the torso model displayed in (b). This ECG is the result of a transmural ischemia with a radius of 25 mm in AHA segment 13. (f) Simulated ECG (Einthoven lead II) with ST depression using the third torso model displayed in (c). This ECG is the result of a transmural ischemia with a radius of 20 mm in AHA segment 5.
