Noninvasive Mapping and Electrocardiographic Imaging in Atrial and Ventricular Arrhythmias (CardioInsight).

Electrocardiographic imaging is a mapping technique aiming to noninvasively characterize cardiac electrical activity using signals collected from the torso to reconstruct epicardial potentials. Its efficacy has been demonstrated clinically, from mapping premature ventricular complexes and accessory pathways to of complex arrhythmias. Electrocardiographic imaging uses a standardized workflow. Signals should be checked manually to avoid automatic processing errors. Reentry is confirmed in the presence of local activation covering the arrhythmia cycle length. Focal breakthroughs demonstrate a QS pattern associated with centrifugal activation. Electrocardiographic imaging offers a unique opportunity to better understand the mechanism of cardiac arrhythmias and guide ablation.
