Essential motivation
• “Cardiac arrhythmias are a major cause of death and
disability. Despite the clinical need and the importance of
studying arrhythmia mechanisms in humans, a
noninvasive
imaging
modality
for
cardiac
electrophysiology is not yet available for routine
application” (Rudy Y. Ann N Y Acad Sci. 2010 Feb;1188:214-21. )
Levels of cardiac electroimaging
Body surface level
• need for reproducible, high-density measurements
• need for biophysically meaningful features
• need for improved inverse computations
Epicardial level
• understanding the cellular level prerequisites of arrhythmia
• need for achiving compatibility with experimental findings
First generation of data acquisition and data
presentation
Improvements in measurement technology

Prerequisites of arrhythmia
According to our current understanding the biophysical substrate of
leathal arrhythmia is the fragmented propagation and the repolarization
heterogeneity
Fragmented propagation is due to
static and dynamic obstacles
Determinants of dynamic obstacles:
• determinants of Um membran
potentials like APD, AP restitution, CV
restitution, cardiac memory, and
• the properties of the Cai (intracellular)
transport between the sarcoplasmic
reticulum and the cytoplasm

Experimental evidence #1: Effect of cell-tocell coupling modulation
• Single ventricular myocites paced at
constant rate (and held at a constant
temperature) exhibit beat-to-beat
variations in action potential duration
(APD) and in intQRST as well.
• On the body surface the variability is
manifested in beat-to-beat changes of
QRST integral map patterns.
• The increase of cell-to-cell coupling
resistance increase action potential
heterogeneity. Consequently, there is a
need for beat-to-beat evaluation of
repolarization variability.

Modelling the possible mechanisms of NDI
spikes
NDI(QRS)
Study in progress:
By the use of the slovakian numerical heart and
thoracic models the QRS and QRST integral
responses as well as the NDI responses of wave
initiation point modulations and AP alterations are
studied.

Experimental evidence #2: concordant and
discordant T-wave alternans
Cellular properties of the
cardiac action potential and
Cai cycling dynamically may
generate wave instability and
wavebreak, even in tissue that
is initially completelly
homogeneous.
There is a need for the spatiotemporal analysis of the
QRST integrals.

In forward direction the equation is solvable, in
inverse direction: ill-posed
Conventional and some recent approaches
Tikhonov regularizition attempts to control the oscillation of the solution. To
this end introduces a single parameter ( γ ) and minimizes the expression:
~
R  F B  TBO F O
2
  FO
2
By this approach the correlation of the real epicardial potential vectors and the
estimated vectors is in the range of 0.7-0.8, which provides qualitatively correct
potential patterns though the numerical values are often quite different.
In some recent solutions:
• truncated singular-value decomposition (TSVD) methods, or
• least-squares QR (LSQR) method, based on Lanczos bidiagonalization and QR
factorization was used.
• Results show that the inverse solutions recovered by the LSQR method were more
accurate than those recovered by the Tikhonov and TSVD methods.
• By combing the LSQR with genetic algorithms (GA), the performance can be
improved further.
Approaches in progress
• In our approach we wish elaborate optimization techniques for
making the problem “well-posed”.
• In this respect we plan to further develop ideas of (Maros). This
approach will open up considerable flexibility that can be utilized to
take into account a priori knowledge (if available).
• The other aim is to utilize the idea of “important points” for making
the problem well-posed.
