Intersubject variability and intrasubject reproducibility of 12-lead ECG metrics: Implications for human verification
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Electrocardiogram (ECG) biometrics is an advanced technology, not yet covered by guidelines on criteria, features and leads for maximal authentication accuracy.
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to define the minimal set of morphological metrics in 12-lead ECG by optimization towards high reliability and security, and validation in a person verification model across a large population.
METHODS: A standard 12-lead resting ECG database from 574 non-cardiac patients with two remote recordings (>1year apart) was used. A commercial ECG analysis module (Schiller AG) measured 202 morphological features, including lead-specific amplitudes, durations, ST-metrics, and axes. Coefficient of variation (CV, intersubject variability) and percent-mean-absolute-difference (PMAD, intrasubject reproducibility) defined the optimization (PMAD/CV→min) and restriction (CV<30%) criteria for selection of the most stable and distinctive features. Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) validated the non-redundant feature set for person verification.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Maximal LDA verification sensitivity (85.3%) and specificity (86.4%) were validated for 11 optimal features: R-amplitude (I,II,V1,V2,V3,V5), S-amplitude (V1,V2), Tnegative-amplitude (aVR), and R-duration (aVF,V1).
