  • Comparing simulated, mapped, and 3DECI-derived ventricular activation sequences.
  • In vivo testing in a rabbit model.

    • Main Results:

    • The 3DECI system demonstrated good performance and sensitivity in the rabbit model.
    • In vivo testing showed a low relative error (0.20) and localization error (5.1 mm) between measured and imaged activation sequences.
    • The intracardiac mapping procedure proved effective in evaluating 3DECI.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed 3DECI approach shows significant promise for accurate cardiac electrical activity imaging.
    • Intracardiac mapping is a valid method for assessing the performance of 3DECI systems.
    • These findings support the clinical potential of 3DECI for arrhythmia management.
