Does body surface potential mapping differentiate between normal hearts, ostium primum, and ostium secundum atrial septal defects in children?
Body surface potential mapping can differentiate between ostium primum and secundum atrial septal defects based on distinct patterns of intracardiac electrical wave fronts.
Karsh et al. (1970) studied this question.
