Abstract :
A procedure is introduced that allows approximations of body surface potential maps (BSPM) to be obtained by utilizing commonly available digital 12-lead-electrocardiogram (ECG) systems. These Pseudo-BSPMs contain most of the averaged spatio-temporal information for a single characteristic beat. The underlying signal processing is described in detail. The algorithms including an online method verification may easily be added to the software of commercial 12-lead ECG devices.
