From Intracardiac Electrograms to Electrocardiograms: Models and Metamodels
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the problem of building a standard electrocardiogram (ECG) from the electrical potential provided by a pacemaker in a few points of the heart (electrogram). We use a 3D mathematical model of the heart and the torso electrical activity, able to generate “computational ECG”, and a “metamodel” based on a kernel ridge regression. The input of the metamodel is the electrogram, its output is the ECG. The 3D model is used to train and test the metamodel. We illustrate the performance of the proposed strategy on simulated bundle branch blocks of various severities and a few clinical data.

The intracardiac electrogram as an aid in cardiac catheterization.
Electrocardiograms have been recorded by unipolar leads from the great veins and cavities of the right heart during cardiac catheterization in 30 of 130 cases of congenital and rheumatic heart disease. These intracardiac electrograms have given information that has proved useful in diagnosis. Further, continuous monitoring on an oscilloscope of these tracings, rather than of records from surfac...
متن کاملIn vitro study to simulate the intracardiac magnetohydrodynamic effect.
PURPOSE Blood flow causes induced voltages via the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) effect distorting electrograms (EGMs) made during magnetic resonance imaging. To investigate the MHD effect in this context MHD voltages occurring inside the human heart were simulated in an in vitro model system inside a 1.5 T MR system. METHODS The model was developed to produce MHD signals similar to those produce...

The analysis of intracardiac electrogram morphology has been proposed as a complementary method for accurate discrimination between sinus rhythm (SR), supraventricular dysrhythmias, and ventricular dysrhythmias by automatic antitachycardia and cardioverter defibrillator devices. In this study, the performance of a traditional time-domain method for surface electrocardiogram interpretation--Corr...
متن کاملUses and fallacies of intracardiac electrograms at the pulmonary valve.
Intracardiac electrograms by cardiac catheterization were first recorded by Lenegre and Maurice (1945). The electrographic patterns in various chambers of the heart were studied by Hecht (1946), Battro and Bidoggia (1947), and Kossmann et al. (1950), and were mainly of value in studying the activation of the heart. Their importance during cardiac catheterization was first shown by Emslie-Smith ...
متن کاملIdentification of ventricular tachycardia using intracardiac electrograms: a comparison of unipolar versus bipolar waveform analysis.
Implantable antitachycardia devices suffer a high false-positive rate of delivery of therapy because current detection schemes based upon ventricular rate and rate variations are excessively sensitive at the cost of specificity. Several methods have been proposed for providing complementary information derived from morphologic analysis of intraventricular electrograms in order to increase speci...
