Abstract
Heart and hypertensive diseases are among the leading causes of death in Colombia
and the world. Because of this, they are included in the Sustainable Development Goals
of the WHO’s 2030 agenda as a high priority issue. The study of cardiac dynamics is
essential to understand heart disease and develop effective diagnostics and treatments.
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) and cardiac Holter are important techniques
to assess cardiac activity under daily conditions. Cardiovascular disease and hypertension
are significant health problems, and the lack of early detection is of concern. The aim of
this work is to develop an algorithm that combines ECG and blood pressure estimation to
classify cardiac dynamics as normal or abnormal. The algorithm is based on ECG signal
analysis and intelligent blood pressure estimation through the DII derivative of this signal.
The purpose is to improve early diagnosis and prevent cardiovascular diseases. Machine
learning and quantitative methodology will be used for data extraction and classification.As
a result of the study, two Gaussian process regression (GPR) models were derived
to estimate blood pressure, specifically the systolic blood pressure model exhibited a
coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.83 and a mean square error of 8.4, while the diastolic
blood pressure model showed an R2 of 0.88 and an RMSE of 3.54. Together, these
regression models yielded a cumulative RMSE of 11.94, thus meeting the standards
established by the British Hypertension Society (BHS) and classifying as type C. Therefore,
the blood pressure estimation model possesses the feasibility for implementation in clinical
settings.
Regarding the cardiac normality classifier, a Bagged Trees classification model was
employed and demonstrated an accuracy of 96.6 %, allowing effective classification of
normal ECG signals among five types of arrhythmias. Finally, through a binary classification
that considers the estimated values of arterial pressure, heart rate and the results of the
normality classification, it is determined whether the cardiac dynamics are within normal
parameters or whether they present any mechanical or electrical abnormality
