Computational models of cardiac electrophysiology are being investigated for improved patient selection and planning of therapies like cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). However, their clinical applicability is limited unless their parameters are fitted to the physiology of an individual patient. In this paper, a method that estimates spatially-varying electrical diffusivities from routine ECG data and dynamic cardiac images is presented. Contrary to current methods based on invasive electrophysiology studies or body surface potential mapping, our approach relies on widely available 12-lead ECG and motion information obtained from clinical images. First, a map of mechanical activation time is derived from a cardiac strain map. Then, regional electrical diffusivities are personalized such that the computed cardiac depolarization matches both the mechanical activation map and measured ECG features. The fit between measured and computed electrocardiography data after model personalization is evaluated on 14 dilated cardiomyopathy patients, exhibiting low mean errors in terms of the diagnostic ECG features QRS duration (0.1ms) and electrical axis (10.6 degrees). The proposed regional approach outperforms global personalization when 12-lead ECG is the only electrophysiology data available. Furthermore, promising results of a preliminary CRT study on one patient demonstrate the predictive power of the personalized model. |
