Abstract
With an inverse computational approach using a multi-lead ECG recording of normal sinus rhythm in a patient spread of activation and repolarization was computed. Using this timing information, contributions to the standard 12-lead ECG were computed for selected segments of the heart. The results show that in none of the precordial leads is the influence of the right ventricle larger than from the left. The electric activity of basal regions and the RVOT are relatively poorly represented in the standard 12-lead ECG.
