“…As disciples of Professor Alberto Benchimol, we are always reminded of the importance of visual inspections of the P, QRS, and T loops [24]. Because most vectorcardiographic researchers have not been able to explain the AID of the loops, they simply ignore it in the literature.…”

“…Specific advantages of the VCG were the recognition of undetected atrial and ventricular hypertrophy, greater sensitivity in identification of myocardial infarction, and superior capability for diagnosis of myocardial infarctions in the presence of fascicular and bundle branch blocks [8]. VCG has shown its capabilities during the last decade in concurrence with high design and development of software and hardware medical signal processors.…”

The ability to transform orthogonal 3-lead Vectorcardiogram (VCG) to 12-lead Electrocardiogram (ECG) enables the use of fewer leads for computer visualization, signal analysis and wireless transmission of signals. This can also improve mobility, albeit limited, to the patients. We presented a least square (LS)-based approach to transform 3-lead Frank VCG to 12-lead ECG signals and vice versa, using partial linear transformation. Also our partial linear transformation function would be compared with Dower and affine transformation functions. The VCG and ECG signals of 40 healthy persons are acquired in this study. The results show that for healthy subjects, our partial linear LS method that is maps 3-lead VCG to12-lead ECG more accurately than both Dower and affine transformations of the ECG recordings.

“…This is the reason why we tried from the very beginning to generate high-quality vector-loop displays for visual analysis. Secondly, numerous reports have emphasized the clinical value of the VCG in almost every diagnostic category considered in clinical electrocardiography [7][8][9]. Chou, the author of a remarkable textbook on Clinical Vectorcardiography [10], has recently reassessed the complementary characteristics of the VCG as compared to the scalar ECG [11].…”

The Louvain program performs the analysis and interpretation of the vectorcardiogram (VCG) to increase the clinical utility of ECG analysis. Among its original features, there are (1) a high-resolution vector-loop display for visual analysis, (2) quantitative analysis of the spatial VCG using age-sex stratified limits, (3) separate software for adult and pediatric series and (4) complementary deterministic and statistical methods of diagnostic classification. Using objective, ECG-independent evidence as a reference standard, the Louvain program has shown satisfactory levels of diagnostic accuracy in most basic categories. However, its usefulness is especially marked in “borderline” or “complex” situations, where the 12-lead ECG cannot provide a clear answer. It corresponds to the concept of “computer-assisted ECG interpretation” as opposed to “computer ECG analysis”.
