Cardiac arrhythmias are a major cause of death and disability. Despite the clinical need and the importance of studying arrhythmia mechanisms in humans, a noninvasive imaging modality for cardiac electrophysiology is not yet available for routine application. Here we describe such a noninvasive imaging modality, electrocardiographic imaging (ECGI), and provide examples of its application in various (normal and abnormal) cardiac rhythms.
心律失常是导致死亡和残疾的主要原因。尽管临床有需求，并且研究人类心律失常机制非常重要，但仍没有可用于常规应用的心脏电生理学无创成像方式。在此，我们描述了这种无创成像方式，即心电图成像（ECGI），并提供了其在各种（正常和异常）心脏节律中的应用示例。
