Annotation:

The main aim of the dissertation thesis will be to design suitable parameters extracted from ECG signals acquired from the multiple-lead measurement of the electrical field of the heart on the thorax surface that could be used for assessment of quantitative criteria for patient selection with higher probability of the cardiac resynchronization therapy success, for optimization of stimulation electrodes’ location, and timing setting of stimulation of different heart parts. The applicant is required to have knowledge of physical laws of electrical fields, methods of measurement and processing of biomedical signals, ability of studying the scientific literature in English language and programming in the Matlab environment.
