Novel mapping techniques for cardiac electrophysiology.
Because of its high success rate and low morbidity, radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation has become first line treatment for many arrhythmias. In this procedure, one or more electrode catheters are advanced percutaneously through the vasculature to contact cardiac tissues. A diagnostic study is performed to define the arrhythmia mechanism, and subsequently an ablation catheter is positioned ad...
متن کاملNew Optical Mapping Design and Automated Algorithms for Cardiac Electrophysiology
Optical mapping is an important tool for assessment of cardiac electrophysiology. We demonstrate a new system for quantification and measurement of electrophysiological parameters in isolated cardiac tissue. The system makes use of voltage sensitive fluorescent dyes that shift in spectral property in response to millivolt changes in potential across cell membranes. Automated analysis of the pix...
متن کاملCardiac Electrophysiology
Recently, significant achievements have beenmade in cardiac electrophysiology research, including Ca regulatory pathways, membrane ion channel-related intracellular signaling, and electrical remodeling in cardiomyopathies. The rapid progress in the basic research has led to applications of numerous new methods and strategies to clinical diagnoses and treatments. The efficacy of antiarrhythmic p...
متن کاملComputational modeling of cardiac electrophysiology: A novel finite element approach
The key objective of this work is the design of an unconditionally stable, robust, efficient, modular, and easily expandable finite element-based simulation tool for cardiac electrophysiology. In contrast to existing formulations, we propose a global–local split of the system of equations in which the global variable is the fast action potential that is introduced as a nodal degree of freedom, ...
متن کاملChallenging Cardiac Electrophysiology
is now increasingly recognized by genetic screening. Association studies have identified numerous genes that are coupled to cardiac diseases, but the functional role of mutations in these genes is often not clear. The relations between the electrophysiological changes in patients with hereditary or chronic cardiac diseases is often far from clear. This calls for an integrated type of research, ...
