Electrocardiographic imaging metrics to predict the risk of arrhythmia in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The leading cause of death in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy is sudden cardiac death caused by ventricular arrhythmias. Accurate determination of arrhythmic risk in these patients is vital to allow clinicians to take appropriate preventive measures.

Objective

To review and summarize the literature on electrocardiographic imaging (ECGi) metrics that could be used to predict arrhythmic risk in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy.

Methods

A comprehensive literature search was performed to retrieve research articles on non-invasive electrocardiographic mapping techniques. Inclusion criteria of the studies required the involvement of patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy or ischemic heart disease.

Results

A total of 17 papers were identified, fiv
