Using reported clinical data, we apply this concept for evaluating the probability of ventricular fibrillation based on the electrocardiographic ST-segment deviation values.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Data collected by previous reports were used to fit an allometric model in order to estimate ventricular fibrillation probability. Patients presenting either with death, myocardial infarction or unstable angina were included to calculate such probability as, <jats:italic>VF<\/jats:italic>\n              <jats:sub>\n                <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n              <\/jats:sub>\n              <jats:italic>= \u03b4 + \u03b2 (ST)<\/jats:italic>, for three different ST deviations. The coefficients <jats:italic>\u03b4<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic> were obtained as the best fit to the clinical data extended over observational periods of 1, 6, 12 and 48 months from occurrence of the first reported chest pain accompanied by ST deviation.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>By application of the above equation in log-log representation, the fitting procedure produced the following overall coefficients: Average <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic> = 0.46, with a maximum = 0.62 and a minimum = 0.42; Average <jats:italic>\u03b4<\/jats:italic> = 1.28, with a maximum = 1.79 and a minimum = 0.92. For a 2 mm ST-deviation, the full range of predicted ventricular fibrillation probability extended from about 13% at 1 month up to 86% at 4 years after the original cardiac event.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>These results, at least preliminarily, appear acceptable and still call for full clinical test. The model seems promising, especially if other parameters were taken into account, such as blood cardiac enzyme concentrations, ischemic or infarcted epicardial areas or ejection fraction. It is concluded, considering these results and a few references found in the literature, that the allometric model shows good predictive practical value to aid medical decisions.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/1475-925x-10-2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,1,19]],"date-time":"2011-01-19T11:09:17Z","timestamp":1295435357000},"update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Probability of ventricular fibrillation: allometric model based on the ST deviation"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Maria P","family":"Bonomini","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pedro D","family":"Arini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Max E","family":"Valentinuzzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,1,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"414_CR1","volume-title":"Series on Bioengineering and Biomedical Engineering","author":"ME Valentinuzzi","year":"2010","unstructured":"Valentinuzzi ME: Cardiac Fibrillation-Defibrillation: Clinical and Engineering Aspects.
