Multiscale multifractality analysis of a 12-lead electrocardiogram.

This paper proposes that a multiscale multifractality (MSMF) method be adopted for the spatiotemporal analysis of 12-lead ECG. By using this method, the authors find that, in some frequency range, 12-lead ECG has a more complex fractal structure, and the position of the largest singularity strength range delta alpha is not relying on the data length but on the scale factor. By determining the inflexion, the MSMF proves to be more sensitive in displaying the trend that the singularity strength range delta alpha of human ECG decreases with human aging.
