Abstract
The purpose of this study was to develop optimal configuration of adhesive ECG patches placement on the torso, which would provide the best agreement with the Frank orthogonal ECGs. Ten seconds of orthogonal ECG followed by 3-5min of ECGs using patches at 5 different locations simultaneously on the torso were recorded in 50 participants at rest in sitting position. Median beat was generated for each ECG and 3 patch ECGs that best correlate with orthogonal ECGs were selected for each participant. For agreement analysis, spatial QRS-T angle, spatial QRS and T vector characteristics, spatial ventricular gradient, roundness, thickness and planarity of vectorcardiographic (VCG) loops were measured. Key VCG parameters showed high agreement in Bland-Altman analysis (spatial QRS-T angle on 3-patch ECG vs. Frank ECG bias 0.3 (95% limits of agreement [-6.23;5.71 degrees]), Lin's concordance coefficient=0.996). In conclusion, newly developed orthogonal 3-patch ECG can be used for long-term VCG monitoring.

Abstract
Denervated post-infarct scar is arrhythmogenic. Our aim was to compare QRS frequency content in denervated and innervated left ventricular (LV) scar. In-vivo single lead ECG telemetry device was implanted in 17 heterozygous PTPσ (HET) and 7 lacking PTPσ (KO) transgenic mice. Myocardial infarction (MI) with reperfusion and sham surgery was performed. HET mice developed a denervated scar, whereas KO mice developed innervated scar. The power spectral density was used to assess the QRS frequency content. Denervated as compared to innervated post-MI scar was characterized by the higher relative contribution of 300-500 Hz (14 ± 1 vs. 9 ± 1%; P = 0.001) but reduced relative contribution of 200-300 Hz (86 ± 1 vs. 91 ± 1%; P = 0.001). Norepinephrine concentration in peri-infarct zone correlated with both 1-200 Hz (r = 0.75; P = 0.03) and 200-500 Hz QRS power (r = 0.73; P = 0.04). Sympathetic fiber density within the infarct correlated with 200-300/200-500 Hz QRS power ratio (r = 0.56; P = 0.005). Intracellular sigma peptide injections in post-MI HET mice restored the QRS power.

Abstract
In this paper we employed joint symbolic dynamics (JSD) approach to study reproducibility of heart rate variability characteristics measured on 2 randomly selected 10-second segments within 3-minute resting orthogonal ECG in 170 healthy participants. First, the ECG R-peaks were detected using parabolic fitting. Second, the respiratory signal was derived from orthogonal ECG X-lead using QRS slopes. Third, time series of R-R intervals and respiratory phases (calculated using Hilbert transform), were transformed into tertiary symbol vectors based on their successive changes and words of length '3' were formed. Bland-Altman analysis was used to assess the agreement between measured log-transformed JSD characteristics of HRV, and their reproducibility. Traditional HRV measures such as RR' interval changes showed a very high reproducibility. However, agreement between two 10-second JSD indices of HRV was low. Interestingly, a significant decrease in low-high alterations of HRV dynamics measured using JSD was observed when respiratory phase transition intervals were excluded (10s: 4.7±9.4 vs. 24.8±21.0%, p<0.0001; 3min: 9.8±8.1 vs. 24.8±12.3%, p<0.0001).

Abstract
Recently, we developed a novel approach to study the rapid and sudden changes in the direction of ventricular activation called folding phenomenon. In order to better understand this phenomenon, we were interested in studying the variation of the orientation of [Formula: see text] for i=1…N where [Formula: see text] represents the QRS vector at the ith sample point. In this study, we described the orientation of the [Formula: see text] vector and the rotation of its frame of reference in details in 81 healthy participants from the Intercity Digital Electrocardiogram Alliance (IDEAL) study using unit quaternions and Euler angles. We observed that the variance of the elevation of rotation axis u⃗ was significantly higher in men compared to women (1340±421 vs. 1063±381, P=0.003, respectively). Additionally, there was a significant negative correlation between the variance of the azimuth of u⃗ and height (CC=-0.26, P=0.019) while the elevation of u⃗ and height were significantly positively correlated (CC=0.24, P=0.034). Moreover, the elevation of u⃗ had a positive significant correlation with weight and body surface area (CC=0.22, P=0.045 and CC=0.26, P=0.020 respectively).

Abstract
Vectorcardiography (VCG), developed 100years ago, characterizes clinically important electrophysiological properties of the heart. In this study, VCG QRS loop roundness, planarity, thickness, rotational angle, and dihedral angle were measured in 81 healthy control subjects (39.0±14.2y; 51.8% male; 94% white), and 8 patients with infarct-cardiomyopathy and sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) (68.0±7.8y, 37.5% male). The angle between two consecutive QRS vectors was defined as the rotational angle, while dihedral angle quantified planar alteration over the QRS loop. In VT subjects, planarity index decreased (0.63±0.22 vs. 0.88±0.10; P=0.014), and dihedral angle was significantly more variable (variance of dihedral angle, median (IQR): 897(575-1450) vs. 542(343-773); P=0.029; rMSSD: 47.7±12.7 vs. 35.1±13.1; P=0.027). Abnormal electrophysiological substrate in VT patients is characterized by the appearance of QRS loop folding, likely due to local conduction block. The presence of fragmented QRS complexes on the 12-lead ECG had low sensitivity (31%) for detecting QRS loop folding on the VCG.
