Qualifier Spanish: Mapeo del Potencial de Superficie Corporal
Descriptor mapeo de potenciales de superficie corporal
Entry term(s) mapeo de la superficie corporal
Scope note: Registro de la información electrofisiológica regional mediante el análisis de los potenciales de superficie para proporcionar un cuadro completo de los efectos de las corrientes del corazón sobre la superficie del cuerpo. Se ha aplicado al diagnóstico de infartos de miocardio inferiores antiguos, localización de la vía de atajo en el síndrome de Wolff-Parkinson-White, reconocimiento de la hipertrofia ventricular, estimación del tamaño de un infarto miocárdico, y los efectos de diferentes intervenciones diseñadas para reducir el tamaño del infarto. El factor limitante en la actualidad es la complejidad del registro y su análisis, que requiere 100 electrodos o más, instrumentación sofisticada, y personal dedicado.

Scope note: Recording of regional electrophysiological information by analysis of surface potentials to give a complete picture of the effects of the currents from the heart on the body surface. It has been applied to the diagnosis of old inferior myocardial infarction, localization of the bypass pathway in Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, recognition of ventricular hypertrophy, estimation of the size of a myocardial infarct, and the effects of different interventions designed to reduce infarct size. The limiting factor at present is the complexity of the recording and analysis, which requires 100 or more electrodes, sophisticated instrumentation, and dedicated personnel.
