Spectrum of clinical applications of interlead ECG heterogeneity assessment: From myocardial ischemia detection to sudden cardiac death risk stratification

Abstract Heterogeneity in depolarization and repolarization among regions of cardiac cells has long been recognized as a major factor in cardiac arrhythmogenesis. This fundamental principle has motivated development of noninvasive techniques for quantification of heterogeneity using the surface elec...
