METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR DETECTING FRACTIONATED CONDUCTION DELAY WITH AN ECG

摘要

The present disclosure provides methods and apparatus useful in the diagnosis of cardiomyopathies. The methods and apparatus may be particularly useful in the diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) and Brugada syndrome (BrS). Some embodiments of the methods and apparatus include an electrode array with many electrodes that can be localized in front of or over a particular area of interest of the heart. The use of many local electrodes central or adjacent to the particular area of interest greatly increases the sensitivity of ECG to disease markers and increases the chances of early detection.
