Abstract
A non-invasive method for cardiac arrhythmia risk stratification may include identifying, based at least on an electrical recording of a patient, a cardiac depolarization simulation and a cardiac repolarization simulation corresponding to an electrical recording of a patient. One or more regions of increased spatial repolarization gradient in which a first area of a myocardium of the patient exhibits a first repolarization rate that differs from a second repolarization rate of a second area of the myocardium by an amount then divided by the spatial distance between the two regions, by a threshold value may be determined based on the cardiac depolarization simulation and the cardiac repolarization simulation. A risk of cardiac arrhythmia for the patient may be determined based a magnitude of the increased spatial repolarization gradient. Moreover, a treatment plan for the patient may be determined based on the magnitude and/or location of the increased spatial repolarization gradient.
