Spatiotemporally Controlled Cardiac Conduction Block Using High-Frequency Electrical Stimulation
BACKGROUND Methods for the electrical inhibition of cardiac excitation have long been sought to control excitability and conduction, but to date remain largely impractical. High-amplitude alternating current (AC) stimulation has been known to extend cardiac action potentials (APs), and has been recently exploited to terminate reentrant arrhythmias by producing reversible conduction blocks. Yet,...
متن کاملAsymmetric Rectangular Waveform in Stimulation with High Frequency Alternating Current Reduces the Threshold for Neural Conduction Block
Introduction Abnormal neural impulses in the nervous system may lead to various diseases and disabilities. High frequency alternating currents (HFAC) has been used to block the propagation of such impulses and improve the symptoms or disabilities. The technique is safe, reversible, and relatively selective, and its reliability, the optimum stimulation parameters, and elimination of the onset re...
متن کاملGenetic determinants of cardiac (electric) conduction.
Sotoodehinia et al 1 investigated the role of common genetic variations (single nucleotide polymorphisms; SNPs) in determining QRS duration. The authors performed a meta-analysis of 14 genome-wide association studies of QRS duration in a total of 40 407 individuals (after adjustment for clinical variables) using a cut off of P 5 10 . The discovery phase was followed by a validation study consis...
متن کاملsimulation of fiber conduction block using high frequency alternative current with asymmetric biphasic waveform and its mechanism of action
introduction: high frequency alternating currents is a safe, reversible and selective method for nerve conduction block that has been under study during the last decade as a treatment for the diseases involving abnormal neural impulses. however, reducing the stimulus amplitude, and the undesired onset response, as well as optimizing the stimulus parameters for more effective block is still unde...
متن کاملEmc-oriented Analysis of Electric Near-field in High Frequency
This paper introduces an EMC-oriented study of the frequency-domain behavior of the electric field generated by two dipole antennas. First of all, the theoretical expression of this field is analyzed and confronted with the macromodel commonly used in electrical circuits. Then, the most significant components of the expression are included into the topological study of a two-dipole network thro...
