Vector Loop

The vector loop is an important element of the ECG, which reflects the electrical activity of the heart. When an ECG is recorded, electrodes are placed on the surface of the body and the signal is measured in amperes. In this case, the result is displayed on an oscilloscope, where various characteristics of the heartbeat are displayed, such as duration and waveform.

A vector loop is a separate fragment of an ECG that displays the change in the electrical potential of the heart over a certain period of time. It can be used to diagnose various heart rhythm and conduction disorders. For example, in the presence of a bundle branch block (BBB), a vector loop can identify different forms of block, including complete, incomplete, and occult BBB.

The basic principle of vector loop design is that it uses an electrocardiogram (ECG) graph to detect changes in electrical flow through the heart muscle. Analysis of the properties of the vector loop can identify disturbances in electrical flow that may affect the functioning of the heart.

The main advantage of the vector loop is its high sensitivity and specificity, which makes it possible to detect various disturbances in the electrical activity of the heart during the day. In addition, the use of vector loop in combination with other diagnostic methods helps improve the quality of treatment and prognosis of the patient's condition.

However, it should be noted that electrocardiography and vector loop analysis are not always necessary for a complete study of heart function. In the majority

Vector loop is an element of a vector cardiogram (VCG) responsible for displaying the oscillation of a part of the heart muscle in the form of a complex variable. A mathematical representation of a vector loop can be obtained by calculating the spectral components of a given signal in normalized amplitude and phase. Vector loops provide an important tool for diagnosing various cardiac disorders.
