We studied QRS and QRST isointegral maps, and isochrone map for the diagnosis of right ventricular hypertrophy and its severity in atrial septal defects and primary pulmonary hypertensions. The discriminant analysis in QRS isointegral map showed better results for differential diagnosis between atrial septal defects and both normal subjects and incomplete right bundle branch block patients than these in QRST isointegral map and isochrone map. Three parameters (Qp/Qs, systolic right ventricular pressure, right ventricular ejection fraction) for right ventricular overload showed significant correlation with QRS isointegral map and QRS isopotential map. Thus body surface map was an useful method for the evaluation of right ventricular hypertrophy.

Article Synopsis
- Body surface potential mapping (BSPM) allows for improved diagnosis of heart conditions by analyzing electric potential distribution on the torso, showing higher sensitivity than traditional 12-lead ECG.
- A computer simulation was conducted to model the effects of coronary occlusions at different locations in the left anterior descending artery, focusing on the ST segment period of the heart's electrical activity.
- The study found that in the early stages of ischemia, the bipolar angle rotated counterclockwise with increased ischemic area, and in later stages, the amplitude of the ST isointegral map rose significantly as the area of ischemia grew larger.
Electrical inhomogeneity in left ventricular hypertrophy.

Recent studies designed to assess the relationship between aortic compliance and heterogeneity of heart electrical activity has shown that hypertrophy aggravates repolarization disturbances in the myocardium. Numerous mechanisms of electrical instability and inhomogeneity associated with left ventricular hypertrophy are now under investigation. Most of the studies have been found to be focused on ventricular Gradient, QT dispersion, amplitudes of isointegral maps during ventricular repolarization, abnormally low-QRST areas, dispersion of the QT interval, and spatial QRS-T(angle).

In this retrospective study we analysed changes of the ST segment in patients with arterial hypertension using multi-lead body surface mapping of the electric heart field as the ST segment often shows non-specific changes and is influenced by many different conditions. We constructed isointegral maps (IIM) of chosen intervals (the first 35 ms, the first 80 ms, and the whole ST segment) in 42 patients with arterial hypertension (with and without left ventricular hypertrophy) and in the control group involving 23 healthy persons. We analysed the position and values of map extrema.

The aim of our work was to study the opposite polarity of the PQ segment to the P wave body surface potential maps in different groups of patients. We constructed isointegral maps (IIM) in 26 healthy controls (C), 16 hypertensives (HT), 26 patients with arterial hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and 15 patients with myocardial infarction (MI). We analyzed values and positions of map extrema and compared the polarity of maps using the correlation coefficient.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the changes in body surface maps in patients with postinfarction heart failure (PIHF).
Materials And Methods: Body surface mapping was performed in 22 patients with PIHF and 20 age-matched healthy controls, using a 64-electrode vest. A card index was made for every patient and person of the control group, containing isopotential and isointegral maps.
