Key result
Electrocardiographic imaging non-invasively characterizes AF mechanisms but technical challenges limit its clinical utility.
Why the study?
Because ECGI is time-consuming, costly, and electrical mapping to guide AF ablation remains not fully established, the clinical value and technical limitations of ECGI for AF characterization and treatment guidance needed evaluation.
This review outlines the current state, limitations, and future directions of electrocardiographic imaging (ECGI) for the characterization and management of atrial fibrillation.

ECGI remains investigational for AF therapy guidance; leaves open its clinical role pending technical refinements and prospective trials.
Salinet et al. (2021) conducted a review in Atrial Fibrillation. Electrocardiographic Imaging (ECGI) was evaluated. Electrocardiographic imaging provides a non-invasive approach to characterize atrial fibrillation mechanisms, though its clinical utility for guiding therapy remains under assessment due to technical challenges.
