Original Abstract

Strict (true) left bundle branch block (tLBBB) ECG morphology is a new diagnostic marker in cardiology that was proposed to predict cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) responders. In this paper we present an algorithm for the automatic detection of tLBBB. This algorithm includes mid-QRS notching and slurring detection, QRS duration measurement and tLBBB morphology detection. All required morphologies are detected in the time domain using thresholding of simple features of signal. In order to test our algorithms, three experts labelled 78 ECG records (12 leads, fs = 5 kHz, 15 min); 51 records were labeled as tLBBB. The proposed algorithms were tested showing overall sensitivity and specificity 98 and 86%, respectively, in cases where all three experts reached full consensus (82% of the dataset). Our method showed lower sensitivity and higher specificity 96% and 88%, respectively, for the dataset including cases where experts mutually disagreed, consensus has been reached through expert discussion in these records.
