Does electrical Dyssynchrony on Noninvasive Electrocardiographic Mapping correlate with SAI QRST on surface ECG? Context: The goal of this study was to compare associations between clinical and ECG predictors of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) response with electrical dyssynchrony. Body-surface potentials were recorded using a 120-lead system in 4 patients (age 62 ± 12 y, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) 29 ± 5 %; QRS duration 154 ± 19 ms) with post-myocardial infarction scar and left bundle branch block before CRT implantation. A patient-specific heart-torso model derived from MRI with 291 heart-surface nodes was developed. Electrical dyssynchrony index (EDI) was computed as the standard deviation of activation times on the epicardium while uncoupling index (UI) was measured as the difference between the activation times. QRS duration correlated with mean activation time (r = 0.977; P = 0.023), but did not correlate with EDI or UI. LVEF inversely correlated with activation time at the lowest 20
