Building a data-driven model to localize the origin of ventricular activation from 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECG) requires addressing the challenge of large anatomical and physiological variations across individuals. The alternative of a patient-specific model is, however, difficult to implement in clinical practice because training data must be obtained through invasive procedures. Here, we present a novel approach that overcomes this problem of the scarcity of clinical data by transferring the knowledge from a large set of patient-specific simulation data while utilizing domain adaptation to address the discrepancy between simulation and clinical data. The method that we have developed quantifies non-uniformly distributed simulation errors, which are then incorporated into the process of domain adaptation in the context of both classification and regression. This yields a quantitative model that, with the addition of 12-lead ECG data from each patient, provides progressively improved patient-specific localizations of the origin of ventricular activation. We evaluated the performance of the presented method in localizing 75 pacing sites on three in-vivo premature ventricular contraction (PVC) patients. We found that the presented model showed an improvement in localization accuracy relative to a model trained on clinical ECG data alone or a model trained on combined simulation and clinical data without considering domain shift. Further, we demonstrated the ability of the presented model to improve the real-time prediction of the origin of ventricular activation with each added clinical ECG data, progressively guiding the clinician towards the target site.
