Abstract

Objective: Noninvasive electrocardiographic imaging (ECGI) is used for obtaining high-resolution images of the electrical activity of the heart, and is a powerful method with the potential to detect certain arrhythmias. However, there is no 'best' lead configuration in the literature to measure the torso potentials. This paper evaluates ECGI reconstructions using various reduced leadset configurations, explores whether one can find a common reduced leadset configuration that can accurately reconstruct the electrograms for datasets with different pacing sites, and compares two activation time estimation methods.
