NON-INVASIVE METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CHARACTERIZING CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEMS
First Claim
1. A method for localizing and characterizing both the architectural features and function of cardiovascular tissues, comprising the steps of obtaining ECG data for the heart;
- processing the ECG data to localize, image, and characterize architectural features and function of tissues without use of other measuring devices or invasive procedures; and
using phase information to determine a location of an architectural feature or function of the tissues to display an abnormality associated with the tissues in a 3-D image.

Abstract
The present disclosure uses physiological data, ECG signals as an example, to evaluate cardiac structure and function in mammals. Two approaches are presented, e.g., a model-based analysis and a space-time analysis. The first method uses a modified Matching Pursuit (MMP) algorithm to find a noiseless model of the ECG data that is sparse and does not assume periodicity of the signal. After the model is derived, various metrics and subspaces are extracted to image and characterize cardiovascular tissues using complex-sub-harmonic-frequencies (CSF) quasi-periodic and other mathematical methods. In the second method, space-time domain is divided into a number of regions, the density of the ECG signal is computed in each region and inputted into a learning algorithm to image and characterize the tissues.
