Disorders of excitation propagation in the heart tissue can lead to various pathological states up to heart failure. Resynchronization therapy of heart failure aims for restoration of correct cardiac electrical activation by control of sensing/pacing using special electrodes placed in different parts of the heart. The main aim of the dissertation thesis will be design of new methods and/or modification of currently used methods of analysis of ECG signals acquired from the multiple-lead measurement of the electrical field of the heart on the thorax surface. They can be used for assessment of quantitative criteria for patient selection with higher probability of the cardiac resynchronization therapy success, for optimization of stimulation electrodes’ location, as well as for timing setting of stimulation of different heart areas.
