Background: Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Cardiac fibrosis impacts the underlying pathophysiology of many cardiovascular diseases by altering structural integrity and impairing electrical conduction. Identifying cardiac fibrosis is essential for the prognosis and management of cardiovascular disease; however, current diagnostic methods face challenges due to invasiveness, cost, and inaccessibility.

Wilson assumed that the ventricular gradient (VG) is independent of the ventricular activation order. This paradigm has often been refuted and was never convincingly corroborated. We sought to validate Wilson's concept by intra-individual comparison of the VG of sinus beats and ectopic beats, thus assessing the effects of both altered ventricular conduction (caused by the ectopic focus) and restitution (caused by ectopic prematurity).

Left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) is a rapidly growing conduction system pacing technique. However, little is known regarding the electrophysiological characteristics of different types of LBBP. We aimed to evaluate the electrophysiological characteristics and anatomic lead location with pacing different branches of the left bundle branch.

The standard 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) is a diagnostic tool to asses cardiac electrical activity. The vectorcardiogram is a related tool that represents that activity as the direction of a vector. In this work we investigate CineECG, a new 12-lead ECG based analysis method designed to directly estimate the average cardiac anatomical location of activation over time.

Background And Objectives: Macroreentrant atrial tachyarrhythmias (MRATs) can be caused by different reentrant circuits. The treatment for each MRAT type may require ablation at different sites, either at the right or left atria. Unfortunately, the reentrant circuit that drives the arrhythmia cannot be ascertained previous to the electrophysiological intervention.
