Electrocardiographic imaging of heart rhythm disorders: from bench to bedside

Card Electrophysiol Clin. 2015 Mar;7(1):17-35. doi: 10.1016/j.ccep.2014.11.013.

Abstract

Noninvasive electrocardiographic imaging (ECGI; also called ECG mapping) can reconstruct potentials, electrograms, activation sequences, and repolarization patterns on the epicardial surface of the heart with high resolution. ECGI can possibly be used to quantify synchrony, identify potential responders/nonresponders to cardiac resynchronization therapy, and guide electrode placement for effective resynchronization therapy. This article provides a brief description of the ECGI procedure and selected previously published examples of its application in important clinical conditions, including heart failure, cardiac resynchronization therapy, atrial arrhythmias, and ventricular tachycardia.
