CVRTICVRTI
An Old QuestionAn Old Question
• Sigler (1938)– body position
• Olbrich & Woodward-Williams (1953)– body position
• Dougherty (1970)– heart position
• Shapiro, Berson, and Pipberger (1976)– body position
• Sutherland et al.: (1983)– body position and
respiration• Green et al.: (1985)
– body habtitus• MacLeod et al.: (1997)• Hoekema (1999)
– heart/torso geometry
CVRTICVRTI
Sources of VariationSources of Variation
• Geometry variation: – anatomic differences– body position– respiration– electrode placement
• Physiologic variation: – pathology– beat to beat changes– rate effects– central control (ANS)– …..
CVRTICVRTI
Relevant Questions for ECG?Relevant Questions for ECG?
• How much variation is there?• Where does it come from?• How can we isolate the sources?• Is compensation possible?
CVRTICVRTI
Some New ApproachesSome New Approaches
• Clinical– BSPM– medical imaging
• Simulations– forward/inverse solutions
• Experimental– isolated heart– electrolytic torso tank– three-dimensional digitizer
CVRTICVRTI
Technical ApparatusTechnical Apparatus
• “Andy III”• 370 electrodes• R = 500 cm• Homogeneous• 1024 channel

What Did We Learn?What Did We Learn?• Experiments replicated clinical results
– Sutherland: patterns, amplitudes, variability– Hoekema: relative variation index
• The role of geometry is complex• Geometry errors could affect diagnosis• Future:
– mimic changes in body position– compare with electrode placement errors– recognize and compensate for geometry errors– simulations
• Bicycling is essential for good research
