Integrated image processing and electro-anatomical mapping to assess arrhythmogenicity of the infarct border zone KU Leuven
Ischemic heart disease and specifically myocardial infarction (MI) causes regional damage (scarring) to the heart and is responsible for up to 75-80% of sudden cardiac death (SCD). The common therapy to reduce SCD is an implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD). In primary prevention, the main quantitative criterion for ICD implantation remains left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). This parameter has poor accuracy to predict ...
