Recent Advancements in Electrocardiographic Imaging - by Michael Lyle (Hardcover)

About the Book

Electrocardiographic imaging (ECGI) is an advanced methodology utilised for high-resolution mapping of cardiac electrical activity. This technique integrates data from multiple surface electrodes strategically placed around the torso with imaging technologies to construct a detailed three-dimensional representation of the heart's electrical function. This approach enables precise characterization of abnormal heart rhythms and other electrophysiological abnormalities. ECGI holds particular relevance in the diagnosis and management of complex arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia. It provides more detailed information compared to traditional electrocardiograms (ECGs), aiding in the development of targeted therapies. This non-invasive approach improves the accuracy of diagnoses and enhances the effectiveness of cardiac interventions. This book discusses the fundamentals as well as modern approaches of electrocardiographic imaging. The ever growing need of advanced technology is the reason that has fueled the research in the field of cardiology in recent times. As this field is emerging at a rapid pace, the contents of this book will help the readers understand the modern concepts and applications of the subject.
