In silico pace mapping identifies pacing sites more accurately than inverse body surface potential mapping

Heart RhythmPublished Diagnostic accuracy study

Authors' conclusion

In silico pace mapping is more accurate than ECGi in detecting paced activation. Performance was optimal when all BSPs were used and reduced during RV apical pacing.

Study context

Population
Patients with electrocardiographic imaging (ECGi) recordings during LV (endocardial n=5; epicardial n=1), septal and right ventricular (RV) apical pacingseptal 3 · RV apical 15
Comparison
In silico pace mapping vs ECGi for locating the pacing site
Outcome
Distance (d) between pacing electrode (ground truth) and the located site

Performance
