摘要
Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of geometrical factors on the ECG morphology and vectorcardiogram (VCG) parameters. Methods: Patient-tailored models based on five heart-failure patients with intraventricular conduction defects (IVCDs) were created. The heart was shifted up to 6 cm to the left, right, up, and down and rotated +/- 30 degrees around the anteroposterior axis. Precordial electrodes were shifted 3 cm down. Results: Geometry modifications strongly altered ECG notching/slurring and intrinsicoid deflection time. Maximum VCG parameter changes were small for QRS duration (-6% to +10%) and QRS-T angle (-6% to +3%), but considerable for QRS amplitude (-36% to +59%), QRS area (-37% to +42%), T-wave amplitude (-41% to +36%), and T-wave area (-42% to +33%). Conclusion: The position of the heart with respect to the electrodes is an important factor determining notching/slurring and voltage-dependent parameters and therefore must be considered for accurate diagnosis of IVCDs.
