The advanced technology in signal processing has been utilized for recording high resolution electrocardiogram. It has presented some new valuable informations, possibly reflecting electrical characteristics of myocardium. Detecting ventricular late potential is practical, however, it uses only part of high resolution signals, because of difficulty of dividing into higher frequency components. Therefore, high resolutional signals were analyzed using numerical filter in order to detect and verify higher frequency components at mid-QRS stage on body surface electrocardiogram. Precordial signals were summation-averaged and underwent narrow peak filtering using various peek frequencies increasing stepwisely between 50 Hz and 400 Hz. In conclusion, this minutely analyzing system was able to pick up valuable informations in mid-QRS stage signal. For example, harmonization of peek phases in several frequencies at QRS complex had gaps that suggested abnormality of local myocardium.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008297	Male		Males
D008838	Microcomputers	Small computers using LSI (large-scale integration) microprocessor chips as the CPU (central processing unit) and semiconductor memories for compact, inexpensive storage of program instructions and data. They are smaller and less expensive than minicomputers and are usually built into a dedicated system where they are optimized for a particular application. "Microprocessor" may refer to just the CPU or the entire microcomputer.	Computers, Personal,Microprocessors,Computer, Personal,Microcomputer,Microprocessor,Personal Computer,Personal Computers
D009202	Cardiomyopathies	A group of diseases in which the dominant feature is the involvement of the CARDIAC MUSCLE itself. Cardiomyopathies are classified according to their predominant pathophysiological features (DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY; HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY; RESTRICTIVE CARDIOMYOPATHY) or their etiological/pathological factors (CARDIOMYOPATHY, ALCOHOLIC; ENDOCARDIAL FIBROELASTOSIS).

D001145	Arrhythmias, Cardiac	Any disturbances of the normal rhythmic beating of the heart or MYOCARDIAL CONTRACTION. Cardiac arrhythmias can be classified by the abnormalities in HEART RATE, disorders of electrical impulse generation, or impulse conduction.

D018780	Body Surface Potential Mapping	Recording of regional electrophysiological information by analysis of surface potentials to give a complete picture of the effects of the currents from the heart on the body surface. It has been applied to the diagnosis of old inferior myocardial infarction, localization of the bypass pathway in Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, recognition of ventricular hypertrophy, estimation of the size of a myocardial infarct, and the effects of different interventions designed to reduce infarct size. The limiting factor at present is the complexity of the recording and analysis, which requires 100 or more electrodes, sophisticated instrumentation, and dedicated personnel.
