Developing Methods for Reconstructing Electrical Heart Activity

Study Description
Brief Summary:
Non-invasive reconstruction of electrical heart activity can yield important scientific and clinical insights in cardiac rhythm disorders. In this study, The investigators aim at developing methods for reconstructing electrical heart activity non-invasively, and to use these methods to investigate cardiac rhythm disorders to answer clinical and scientific questions.

Arms and Interventions
Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: BSPM-only group
Participants will only receive body-surface potential mapping (BSPM) with an extensive electrode set (256 electrodes).
Device: Body-surface potential mapping
Measurement of 256-lead body-surface electrocardiogram

Experimental: CT+BSPM group
Participants will receive body-surface potential measurements (BSPM) and a CT scan. These data will allow for non-invasive reconstruction of electrical potentials at the heart surface.
Radiation: Computed tomography (CT) scan
A CT scan of thorax and heart will be performed in the CT+BSPM group.

Device: Body-surface potential mapping
Measurement of 256-lead body-surface electrocardiogram

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Epicardial potentials [ Time Frame: Day one, direct measurement ]

    Primary outcome data include reconstructed electrical heart activity such as:

    - epicardial potentials (units: millivolts [mV])

    These outcome data are obtained at the moment of inclusion.

    The primary outcome measures are a comparison of the primary outcome data with invasive outcome data available from clinical records:

    - Reconstructed epicardial potentials (mV) will be compared to selected invasive epicardial potentials (mV) obtained from catheter-based recordings or pacemaker-based recordings available as clinical data


  2. Epicardial electrograms [ Time Frame: Day one, direct measurement ]

    Primary outcome data include reconstructed electrical heart activity such as:

    - epicardial electrograms (units: millivolts [mV] over milliseconds [ms])

    These outcome data are obtained at the moment of inclusion.

    The primary outcome measures are a comparison of the primary outcome data with invasive outcome data available from clinical records:

    - Reconstructed electrograms (mV) will be compared to selected invasive epicardial electrograms (mV) obtained from catheter-based recordings or pacemaker-based recordings available as clinical data


  3. Epicardial activation and recovery sequences [ Time Frame: Day one, direct measurement ]

    Primary outcome data include reconstructed electrical heart activity such as:

    - epicardial activation and recovery isochrones (units: milliseconds [ms])

    These outcome data are obtained at the moment of inclusion.

    The primary outcome measures are a comparison of the primary outcome data with invasive outcome data available from clinical records:

    - Reconstructed activation and recovery sequences (ms) will be compared to recorded catheter-based sequences from clinical data (ms).



Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Disease-specific differences in primary outcome measures [ Time Frame: Day one, direct measurement ]
    The secondary study endpoints include disease-specific differences of the primary outcome measures, which may include abnormal (low-amplitude, fractionated) electrograms and abnormal activation and recovery sequences. Depending on the primary measure, these differences will be expressed in absolute units (mV, ms) or relative differences (%).
