Interpretation of electrograms is key to understand the clinical potential of ECGI

With great interest we read the publication of Duchateau et al. on clinical validation of noninvasive electrical activation mapping by comparing electrocardiographic imaging (ECGI) with epicardial invasive contact mapping.1 We commend the authors for performing this much-needed study, which helps to further define the value of ECGI in the cardiology clinic. Overall, we find the approach of these investigators sound, but we also consider that the paper falls short in explaining the reported discrepancies.
