An idealized, analytic model using spherical harmonics was developed to analyze the effects of variations in torso geometry and volume conductivity parameters on the recovery of epicardial potentials from torso potentials. The model was also used to analyze the effects of these variations on individual terms in the orthogonal series expansion. The ability to reconstruct separate, local electrical events on the epicardium was examined under the following simulated situations: 1) all conductivity and geometry parameters were known accurately, 2) the conductivity of individual torso tissue layers was varied, 3) the torso-air boundary was eliminated (the "infinite medium" assumption), 4) the heart position was not accurately known, and 5) the heart size was not accurately known. Variation in conductivity and geometry parameters was found to exert a quantitative and qualitative effect on the amplitude, resolution, and position of the reconstructed epicardial maxima and minima. Significant differences were found in the ability of the inverse procedure to recover epicardial potentials resulting from posterior as opposed to anterior myocardial sources. Important conclusions regarding the narrow allowance for error in heart size and position, and the relative contributions of the torso tissue layer conductivities can provide guidelines for inverse reconstruction of epicardial potentials with a realistic model utilizing the true geometry. 相似文献

This paper examines the feasibility of utilizing statistical constraints on the inverse potential model to determine the potential distribution over a 4 cm sphere surrounding the heart from perturbed torso potentials. These perturbed torso potentials reflect instrumentation, quadrature, electrode placement, and heart position uncertainties. This work is an extension of the authors' previous work which concluded that it is not feasible to determine this same potential distribution using unconstrained solutions. However, the results of the present work indicate that with the use of approximate signal and noise covariance matrices, it is possible to achieve estimates of this potential distribution with an average sum squared error of twenty-five percent. Further, the estimation of the signal and noise covariance matrices can be accomplished with a knowledge of heart geometry, torso geometry, The approximate measurement error, and a rough estimate of the time an average section of myocardium is depolarized, but without an a priori specification of the activation sequence. 相似文献

A feasibility study is made of the multiple free-moment dipole equivalent cardiac source concept as applied to the inverse problem in electrocardiology. The study deals with a bounded homogeneous model of a dog from which extensive geometry and potential measurements were taken. Torso surface potentials are related to the dipole sources through a set of 268 overdetermined linear algebraic equations. Three source configurations are modeled, 76, 20, and 9 dipoles, and simulation studies are made to evaluate the performance of the models and the feasibility of the concept. Inverse solutions are determined subject to a least-squares error fit of the infinite medium potentials. It is found that the number of free dipoles that can be used as an inverse source model is limited by the solution noise sensitivity, and that the upper limit is in the neighborhood of twenty. The results show that the solutions are unstable in the presence of small geometry perturbations. Localized activation simulated by the 76-dipole source cannot be detected in either the 20- or the 9-dipole solutions, even in the absence of noise and perturbations. Solutions calculated from potentials measured in vivo yield results that are unphysiologic. 相似文献

This paper presents a method for determining the potentials over the surface of a three-dimensional volume due to internal current sources. The volume may be inhomogeneous and irregularly shaped. The method for determining the potentials uses N simultaneous equations which when solved produce the potentials at N different surface points. The N simultaneous equations are solved by an iterative technique on an IBM computer. 相似文献

This canine study assesses the ability to predict whether the myocardium lying directly below epicardial recording sites is infarcted or normal. The results indicate that sufficient information is present in unipolar QRS waveforms to predict with 90 percent accuracy the state of the myocardium. A simplified classifier based only on the magnitude of the Q wave also provides sufficient information for reliable prediction. 相似文献

This study examines the effects of the lungs, spine, sternum, and the anisotropic skeletal muscle layer on the relationship between torso and epicardial potentials. Boundary integral equations representing potentials on the epicardial surface, the torso surface, and the internal conductivity interfaces were solved yielding a set of transfer coefficients valid for any source inside the epicardium and for any conductivity configuration outside the epicardial surface. These transfer coefficients relate potentials on the torso to potentials on the epicardial surface. Calculated torso potentials are generated via the transfer coefficients and measured epicardial potentials for comparison to measured torso potentials. This comparison indicates whether including the thoracic inhomogeneities improves attainable accuracy in calculations relating torso potentials to epicardial potentials. 相似文献

Theoretical Studies on the Inverse Problem in Electrocardiography and the Uniqueness of the Solution 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This paper focuses on the theoretical formulation of the inverse problem in electrocardiography under a general inhomogeneous and anisotropic configuration of the torso conductor. The following points are especially considered: 1) derivation of the Fredholm integral equation of the first kind which relates epicardial to body surface potentials, 2) specification of the conditions which its kernel must satisfy, 3) general solution method for the inverse problem by using the vector space theory, taking into consideration the ill condition of this inverse problem, and 4) proof of the uniqueness of the epicardial potentials. 相似文献

The accurate determination of the spatial distribution of cardiac electrophysiological state is essential for the mechanistic assessment of cardiac arrhythmias in both clinical and experimental cardiac electrophysiological laboratories. The authors describe three fundamental cardiac source-field relationships: 1) activation fields; 2) electrotonic fields; and 3) volume conductor fields. The three cases are described analytically and illustrated with experimentally obtained canine cardiac recordings that capitalize on a recently formulated technique for in vivo cardiac transmembrane current estimation 相似文献

This paper investigates the influence of uncertainties in geometrical coordinates on calculated torso and epicardial potentials. Two types of sources, spherical epicardial and multipolar, are both considered. A concentric sphere model with the epicardial surface represented by a unit sphere and the torso surface represented by a spherical surface of radius 1.4 is utilized. While the representation of biological surfaces with spheres is a highly idealized situation, the dimensions chosen and the approximations utilized are such that the results should be indicative of those using measured biological coordinates. 相似文献

A circuit for contact impedance monitoring in ECG is presented. An ac current in the same frequency band as the ECG signal is used for the measurement. This makes the measurement independent of polarization potentials and gives the correct weight to the impedances in the skin-to-electrode junction. The measurement of the contact impedance is made continuously during ECG monitoring and causes no interference in the ECG signal. 相似文献

The capabilities and limitations of electrocardiography and magnetocardiography are discussed. Representing the electrical activity of the heart by an impressed current density ji, electrocardiography determines the spherical harmonic multipole expansion of its divergence (flux source), while magnetocardiography determines the spherical harmonic multipole expansion of the radial component of its curl (vortex source). 相似文献

The first part of the paper discusses various representations for the electric scalar potential, and develops a procedure for determining the magnitude of the quadrupole term of the multipole expansion from a knowledge of its five components. The terms in the multipole expansion for an equivalent cardiac generator depend on the location in the heart region chosen as the origin. In the second part of the paper, an optimum dipole location is defined as the point where the dipole term alone gives the best fit to the potential on a least squares basis. If the heart is well represented by a dipole plus quadrupole, with the z-axis chosen to coincide with the dipole moment p, the optimum dipole location is given by 相似文献
