May enable practical reduced-lead BSPM recording; leaves open prospective clinical validation before adoption.
Does an algorithm for optimal selection of a limited number of leads accurately estimate body surface potential maps compared to total lead maps in human subjects?
A limited 30-lead system can accurately estimate full body surface potential maps, offering a practical approach for clinical use.
Lux et al. (1978) studied Normal and abnormal electrocardiograms (n=132). Algorithm for optimal selection of a limited number of leads (30 leads) vs. Total lead maps was evaluated on Estimation of body surface potentials evaluated by rms error, mean correlation coefficient, and error to signal power ratio. Using an optimal selection of 30 leads to estimate body surface potential maps yielded an average rms error of 32 μV and an average correlation coefficient of 0.983.
