Sources of Patient- Specific Data
Te richness and d closiacy of a personalized cardac model depend directly on thee quality and variety of patient- specific data. Multiple modalities contribute complementary information:
Elektrokardiogram (ECG) Recordings
Te standardowe 12-lead ECG provides a global view of cardicac electrical activity. Higher- density body surface potential ail mapping (BSPM) or electrocardiographic imaging (ECGi) system can reconstruct epicardial or endocardical potential distributions.

By fusing these data with imaging- derived anatomy, research chers can create subient- specific models of conduction velocity, and areais of conduction block. Non- invasive mappincings techniques, such ECi, are also ted.
