Short introduction – to be added
Electrocardiographic imaging (ECGI) is a non-invasive technique to describe intracardiac depolarization and repolarization. Commercial tools are available to describe these patterns for the epicardium. Unfortunately, these tools lack precision in clinical practice. Recently, ECGi has become of interest to more precisely non-invasively study depolarization and repolarization sequences in patients with inherited cardiomyopathies and patient who were resuscitated from sudden cardiac death. To adequately use ECGi in clinical practice several research groups are working to improve the ECGi technique. We propose the formation of an ECGi working group to boost the progress of this technique and to improve collaboration between the different research groups in the Netherlands.
List of members:
Objectives:
The ECGi working group will focus on collaboration, knowledge exchange and coordination of the individual research projects. In a joint national collaborative project, all Dutch experts in the field of ECGi will work together on a multidimensional project.
During meetings the working group will focus on:
The mission of Netherlands Heart Institute is to develop new, excellent strategies for prevention, diagnosis and cure of cardiovascular disease by promoting cooperation between the cardiology departments of all university hospitals in the Netherlands.
The Netherlands Heart Institute encourages young, talented researchers and coaches them to the top.
The Netherlands Heart Institute fosters excellent cardiovascular research on national and international level. We conduct basic science as well as clinical research.
