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 کاملComputational approaches to understand cardiac electrophysiology and arrhythmias.
Cardiac rhythms arise from electrical activity generated by precisely timed opening and closing of ion channels in individual cardiac myocytes. These impulses spread throughout the cardiac muscle to manifest as electrical waves in the whole heart. Regularity of electrical waves is critically important since they signal the heart muscle to contract, driving the primary function of the heart to a...
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 کاملCardiovascular Perspectives Three Questions for Evidence-Based Cardiac Electrophysiology
Clinical cardiac electrophysiology has evolved rapidly over the past several decades, allowing wide-ranging therapeutics to improve the lives of millions of patients.1 The progression from physiology-based investigations to large, randomized trials of new drugs and devices has allowed clinicians to treat patients with greater confidence and an increasing sense that interventions are evidence-ba...
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, ...
