Abstract

The feasibility was studied of monitoring changes in the activation sequence of the heart on the basis of potentials observed on the body surface potentials during a clinical procedure involving the infusion of a sodium channel blocker. The changes in the activation pattern were derived from an inverse procedure (activation time imaging). The results suggest that this is indeed possible, in spite of the fact that the number of ECGs used in the inverse procedure was 65. The quality of the results was attributed to recent improvements in the algorithm performing the imaging procedure.
