Background: The signal-averaged electrocardiogram (SAECG) is a useful noninvasive diagnostic tool for assessing delayed ventricular activation.Methods: The advantage of the SAECG over standard ECGs the ability to detect very low amplitude signals indicative of areas of slowed myocardial conduction, a requirement for reentrant arrhythmias.Results: The SAECG has been proven useful in a variety of clinical situations, particularly in risk stratification after myocardial infarction or in the patient with dilated cardiomyopathy, and in screening for the need for electrophysiological studies in the syncope patient or the patient with nonsustained ventricular tachycardia.Conclusions: This review focuses on the currently accepted methodology of the time-domain SAECG, and outlines the standard applications of the SAECG based on the results of important clinical research.
