The goal of EPICARD is to develop new mathematical approaches for solving different inverse problems in cardiac electrophysiology, in order to help cardiologist to better diagnosis the electrical pathologies in the heart.
Scientific achievements
-
Application of three mathematical approaches to solve the inverse problem in electrocardiography. The results show an improvement of the reconstructed electrical signals with respect to the state of the art used methods.
-
Proof that neglecting the heterogeneity in the torso conductivity has a high impact on the reconstructed electrical signals.
