Background, Motivation and Objective The burden of cardiovascular diseases remains high and represented about 31％ of all death in the US in 2012. Atrial tachycardia (AT) can be treated in the clinic by ablation of the trigger but there is currently no non-invasive way to detect such region. Myocardial Infarct (MI) increases the risk of stroke and can lead to a heart attack. Electromechanical Wave Imaging (EWI) is a direct imaging technique that can map the transmural electromechanical activation in all four chambers in vivo. In this study, we use EWI to image and localize triggers of AT as well as the location of MI in the ventricle in vivo.
