Intracardiac Inverse Potential Mapping Using the Method of Fundamental Solutions
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent cardiac dysrhythmia and percutaneous catheter ablation is widely used to treat it. Panoramic mapping with multi-electrode catheters can identify ablation targets in persistent AF, but is limited by poor contact and inadequate coverage. Objective: To investigate the accuracy of inverse mapping of endocardial surface potentials from electrograms sampled with noncontact basket catheters. Methods: Our group has developed a computationally efficient inverse 3D mapping technique using a meshless method that employs the Method of Fundamental Solutions (MFS). An in-silico test bed was used to compare ground-truth surface potentials with corresponding inverse maps reconstructed from noncontact potentials sampled with virtual catheters. Ground-truth surface potentials were derived from high-density clinical contact mapping data and computer models. Results: Solutions of the intracardiac potential inverse problem with the MFS are robust, fast and accurate. Endocardial surface potentials can be faithfully reconstructed from noncontact recordings in real-time if the geometry of cardiac surface and the location of electrodes relative to it are known. Larger catheters with appropriate electrode density are needed to resolve complex reentrant atrial rhythms. Conclusion: Real-time panoramic potential mapping is feasible with noncontact intracardiac catheters using the MFS. Significance: Accurate endocardial potential maps can be reconstructed in AF with appropriately designed noncontact multi-electrode catheters.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
