Rapid 12-lead automated localization method: Comparison to electrocardiographic imaging (ECGI) in patient-specific geometry

Rapid accurate localization of the site of ventricular activation origin during catheter ablation for ventricular arrhythmias could facilitate the procedure. Electrocardiographic imaging (ECGI) using large lead sets can localize the origin of ventricular activation. We have developed an automated method to identify sites of early ventricular activation in real time using the 12-lead ECG. We aim to compare the localization accuracy of ECGI and the automated method, identifying pacing sites/VT exit based on a patient-specific model.
