    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Electrophysiology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Understanding the electrical field generated by the heart is crucial for non-invasive diagnostic techniques.
    • Surface electrocardiography (ECG) relies on measuring electrical potentials at various body locations.
    • The sensitivity of ECG leads to different electrical field components influences the information obtained.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To quantify the dipole and quadrupole sensitivity of unipolar thoracic leads.
    • To develop a theoretical framework for optimizing electrode placement in surface mapping.
    • To correlate lead sensitivity with thoracic surface proximity.

    Main Methods:

    • A homogeneous torso model was employed to simulate electrical field propagation.
    • Dipole sensitivity was measured for unipolar leads across numerous thoracic sites.
    • Quadrupole sensitivity was assessed by measuring lead responses to the 5 rectangular components of the quadrupole.

    Main Results:

    • Sensitivity maps for dipole and quadrupole components were generated across the torso surface.
    • The overall quadrupole sensitivity, represented by the lead tensor magnitude, was calculated.
    • These maps revealed variations in sensitivity correlating with thoracic surface proximity.

    Conclusions:

    • The derived sensitivity maps offer a theoretical foundation for strategic electrode selection in surface mapping.
    • This research enhances the understanding of lead field interactions for improved ECG-based diagnostics.
    • The findings support the development of more accurate and localized cardiac electrical activity mapping.
