The article is focused on the study of the electrical remodeling of the “sports heart” using multichannel ECG mapping to make a more detailed and informative analysis of the excitation of the myocardium remodeled by sport activity. The study of the heart electrical activity was carried out from 64 unipolar electrodes on the thorax surface synchronously with standard limb leads in highly trained cross-country skiers (n = 15) and young non-trained men (n = 19) at rest. The amplitude-temporal and spatiotemporal characteristics of the electric field of the heart were measured. By the typical distribution of areas of the negative and positive cardiac potentials the durations of depolarization and its individual phases were estimated. ECGII was used to determine the duration of the R-R, PQ (PR), QRS, QT, QTc intervals; in the unipolar lead V5 the R-wave peak time (RWPTV5) was measured. In athletes, the duration of PQII, QTII, QTcII, RWPTV5 intervals were statistically significantly longer than in non-trained men. Analysis of the electrical field of the heart showed a difference in the ratio of the phases of ventricular depolarization in athletes and non-trained individuals at rest. The onset of ventricular depolarization and the first inversion of cardiac potential in athletes were significantly earlier than in non-trained people, while the completion and total duration of the period of ventricular depolarization did not differ. In skiers, the duration of the first inversion was significantly longer than in non-trained individuals; a tendency to shortening of the second period of stable location of potentials on the thorax surface was also shown. The use of surface ECG mapping made it possible to reveal differences in the spatiotemporal organization of heart ventricular depolarization between cross-country skiers and non-trained men at rest. The results of the study may be useful in the analysis of the electrical remodeling of the heart in athletes training the physical quality of endurance.
