Abstract:
Electrocardiographic imaging is a mapping technique aiming to noninvasively characterize cardiac electrical activity using signals collected from the torso to reconstruct epicardial potentials. Its efficacy has been demonstrated clinically, from mapping premature ventricular complexes and accessory pathways to of complex arrhythmias. Electrocardiographic imaging uses a standardized workflow. Signals should be checked manually to avoid automatic processing errors. Reentry is confirmed in the presence of local activation covering the arrhythmia cycle length. Focal breakthroughs demonstrate a QS pattern associated with centrifugal activation. Electrocardiographic imaging offers a unique opportunity to better understand the mechanism of cardiac arrhythmias and guide ablation.

Types of Arrhythmias
Sinus Node Arrhythmias
Sinus Bradycardia: Originating from the sinoatrial (SA) node, sinus bradycardia involves slower impulses, resulting in a heart rate of less than 60 beats per minute (bpm). Causes include sleep, vagal stimulation, beta-blockers, hypothyroidism,...
