The study and treatment of ventricular tachycardia (VT) should be an excellent opportunity for electrocardiographic imaging (ECGI) to make a significant clinical impact. Scar-related VT is an important problem with a high burden of disease that has effective therapeutic options. 1 VT has a relatively large electrocardiographic signal, and a high signal-to-noise ratio, with a lesser impact of the cardiac conduction system on myocardial activation. There is now a substantial body of literature regarding inverse calculation of cardiac electrical activity from body surface potentials and heart-torso geometry information, often known as ECGI. 2 Although ECGI was used for localization of target sites for stereotactic radioablation, permitting an entirely noninvasive procedure, 3 its use as a standalone means for clinical arrhythmia localization has otherwise been limited. Quantitative clinical validation of the accuracy ECG has been challenging. Graham et al4 are to be congratulated for the assembly of a relatively large series of patients who underwent simultaneous invasive electrophysiological study with catheter ablation, while ECGI electrodes were in place to quantitate the accuracy of ECGI in localizing sites of VT exit from myocardial scar. These data are valuable and difficult to acquire: real estate on the thorax during a catheter ablation procedure is at a premium, with electroanatomical mapping system localization patches, defibrillation pads, and procedural 12-lead ECG electrodes competing for space with electrodes for body surface potential mapping.
