Body surface potential maps recorded during catheter pace mapping can facilitate the localization of the site of origin of ventricular tachycardia. In this study, we investigated the value of a realistic computer model of the human ventricular myocardium in generating body surface potential maps as templates for identifying sites of ectopic activation. Our model features an anatomically accurate geometry and an anisotropy due to transmural fibre rotation, that were reconstructed with a spatial resolution of 0.5 mm. It simulates the electrotonic interactions of cardiac cells by solving a nonlinear parabolic partial differential equation, but it behaves as a cellular automaton when the transmembrane potential exceeds the threshold value. We successfully validated our model by comparing the simulated activation sequences--described by isochronal maps, epicardial potential maps and body surface potential maps--with the measured sequences of epicardial and body surface maps reported in the literature. By systematically pacing the left ventricular and right ventricular endocardial surfaces in our ventricular model, we generated a database of 155 QRS-integral maps, which provides a high-resolution reference frame for localizing distinct endocardial pacing sites. This database promises to be a useful tool in improving the performance of catheter pace mapping used in combination with body surface potential mapping. Overall, the results demonstrate that our computer model of the human ventricular myocardium is well suited for complementing a database of QRS-integral maps obtained during clinical pace mapping and can help enhance the efficacy of the ablative treatment of ventricular arrhythmias.
