Research summary
Cardiac electrical mapping is an important tool that allows doctors to study the electrical activity of the heart in detail. Electrical mapping systems used in clinical practice are time consuming, invasive and very costly. Ultra-high frequency electrocardiography is a novel non-invasive cardiac mapping system. Ultra-high frequency electrocardiography (UHF-ECG) can be performed in 10-15 minutes without any risk or discomfort to patients.
The aim of this study is to refine this mapping system, verify it against invasive mapping and develop software to bring this novel system into routine clinical use including predicting which patients will respond to cardiac resynchronisation therapy.REC name
