OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to develop rapid computational methods for identifying the site of origin of ventricular activation from the 12-lead electrocardiogram.BACKGROUND: Catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia in patients with structural heart disease frequently relies on a substrate-based approach, which may use pace mapping guided by body-surface electrocardiography to identify culprit exit sites.METHODS: Patients undergoing ablation of scar-related VT (n= 38) had 12-lead electrocardiograms recorded during pacing at left ventricular endocardial sites (n= 1,012) identified on 3-dimensional electroanatomic maps and registered to a generic left ventricular endocardial surface divided into 16 segments and tessellated into 238 triangles; electrocardiographic data were reduced for each lead to 1 variable, consisting of QRS time integral. Two methods for estimating the origin of activation were developed: 1) a discrete method, estimating segment of activation origin using template matching; and 2) a continuous method, using population-based multiple linear regression to estimate triangle of activation origin. A variant of the latter method was derived, using patient-specific multiple linear regression.RESULTS: The optimal QRS time integral included the first 120 ms of the QRS interval. The mean localization error of population-based regressions was 12 ± 8 mm. Patient-specific regressions can achieve localization accuracy better than 5mm when at least 10 training-set pacing sites are used; this accuracy further increases with each added pacing site.CONCLUSIONS: Computational intraprocedure methods can automatically identify the segment and site of left ventricular activation using novel algorithms, with accuracy within
