Abstract
Image the spatial distribution of TWA on the heart surface from ECG measurements. We introduced the inverse spectral method (ISM), a tailored inverse (or ElectroCardioGraphic Imaging) solution designed specifically to noninvasively image cases of TWA on the heart. We evaluate the ISM on its capacity to reliably detect the spatial distributions of TWA compared against a standard TWA detection method applied directly to the electrograms on the heart surface. We report on results from both a series of synthetic simulations of TWA generated using the ECGSIM software and a set of continuous epicardial surface voltage recordings from a canine experiment. ISM detected TWA distributions that matched the phase of the true underlying out-of-phase regions over and of the heart surface, respectively. Our results suggest that ISM is capable of reliably detecting the different regions present in a TWA distribution across a wide variety of TWA locations on the heart in simulation and in the face of transients and nonidealities in the canine recordings.
