Description
Summary:The cardiac behaviour of the humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) is described, in order to mathematically characterize its electrocardiogram (ECG) using the Dynamic Components of the System (DCS) and the probability theory. Images of 199 cardiac complexes from the electrocardiography register of a humpback whale were digitalized, determining the frequency apparition of each DCS and calculating the probability of those which frequency was greater or equal than four. Application of the probability theory to the electrocardiography analysis of the whale allows its mathematical, objective and reproducible characterization. El comportamiento cardíaco de la ballena jorobada (Megaptera novaeangliae) se describe, a fin de caracterizar matemáticamente su electrocardiograma (ECG) utilizando los componentes dinámicos del sistema (DCS) y la teoría de la probabilidad. Imágenes de 199 complejos cardíaca del registro electrocardiográfico de una ballena jorobada se digitalizaron, determinando la aparición de frecuencias de cada DCS y calcular la probabilidad de las que la frecuencia fue mayor o igual a cuatro. Aplicación de la teoría de la probabilidad para el análisis de electrocardiograma de la ballena permite su caracterización matemática, objetiva y reproducible. Published
