MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF LEFT VENTRICULAR FALSE TENDONS PROGNOSIS IN CHILDREN

The aim of this study was to construct a prognostic mathematical model to predict the presence of left ventricular false tendons in children by using discriminant analysis as well as to assess the significance of the clinical picture, medical history and ECG-parameters for diagnosing this pathology. Materials and methods: 65 children aged 0 to 17 years were examined. The results of discriminant analysis showed that the most informative features predictive of the presence of left ventricular false tendons were positive family history of cardiovascular disorders from maternal side, course of the delivery, ECG-parameters: √RR, heart rate, QTp, the QT dispersion, wave amplitude ratio of R/S V1 (Wilks´Lambda ? 0.5907, F = 5.6418, p
