title: On current topics and future prospects in electrocardiography.
abstract: Some selected topics and future prospects in electrocardiography were stated, namely, electrocardiograph, computer interpretation of electrocardiogram, body surface mapping and electrocardiography at large. Special attention was paid to computer application to signal processing and decision making with respect to electrocardiography. A brief review for inverse problem in electrocardiography was made as well. In regard to body surface mapping, another way of expression of the maps was proposed where, instead of routine isopotential map, isochrone map for ventricular activation time of QRS complexes was used for representing the ventricular electrophysiologic activities.
