Non invasive cardiac mapping in clinical practice: Application to the ablation of cardiac arrhythmias

A recently developed, ECG-based, three dimensional (3D) electrocardiomapping modality named Electrocardiographic Imaging (ECGI) has refined non-invasive diagnosis of heart rhythm disorders [1][2][3]. Our clinical experience in using this non-invasive mapping technique to identify the sources of electrical disorders and guide catheter ablation of atrial arrhythmias (premature atrial beat, atrial tachycardia, atrial fibrillation), ventricular arrhythmias (premature ventricular beats) and ventricular pre-excitation (Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome) is described below.
