Abstract

A novel and reliable approach which quantifies the degree of complexity of late potential (LP) activity in the time domain is presented. By defining the LP attractor in the microvoltage, 3-dimensional space, and then computing the fractal dimension (δ) of the attractor's trajectory, the degree of complexity of LP can be quantified with a single parameter. δ may indicate the chaotic behaviour of the terminal activity of the ventricular depolarisation process. The fractal dimension of the LP Attractor in post-MI subjects that are at risk is significantly higher than in post-MI subjects with low LP activity (p
