چکیده

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a recommended treatment in patients with electrical dyssynchrony such as left bundle branch block (LBBB). The determination of the optimal leads position, and the quantification of the changes in electrical activation are two current major challenges. In this paper, we investigate these aspects through electroanatomical data from a controlled experimental protocol, which studied pigs with no structural disease under LBBB and CRT conditions. We propose to use a quasi-conformal mapping technique to standardize electroanatomical maps of endoand epi-cardial walls of both ventricles to a common reference geometry, in which simple quantitative indices can be computed. Then, we investigate the relation between leads and simple surrogates of the recovery of the electrical activation based either on total activation times or on the spatial distribution of the patterns. Our methodology allows a better understanding of the complex electrical activation patterns in LBBB and CRT, and confirms hypotheses about the optimal leads position from previous studies.

Quantitative analysis of electro-anatomical maps: application to an experimental model of LBBB/CRT

Electroanatomical maps (EAMs) are commonly acquired in clinical routine for guiding ablation therapies. They provide voltage and activation time information on a 3D anatomical mesh representation, making them useful for analyzing the electrical activation patterns in specific pathologies. However, they are extremely acquisition dependent and complex, and therefore difficult to quantify and comp...

اثرات کوتاه‌مدت هم‌زمان‌سازی قلبی بر شدت نارسایی میترال در نارسایی پیشرفته قلبی

Background: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has proved as an efficient treatment in patients with end stage Heart failure. Previous studies showed the beneficial long term effects of CRT on the severity of mitral regurgitation (MR). The aim of this study was to evaluate acute effects of CRT on severity of MR. Methods: This study was a double blind randomized trial performed from 1387 t...

Correct the left ventricular dyssynchrony, correct the rocking.

The presence of left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony in heart failure patients has been largely associated with improved outcome and LV reverse remodelling after cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). However, definition of LV dyssynchrony remains controversial. While current guidelines include QRS duration (.120 ms) and morphology [left bundle branch block (LBBB) vs. non-LBBB] as marker of LV ...

Mechanical Dyssynchrony is Similar in Different Patterns of Left Bundle-Branch Block

BACKGROUND Left bundle-branch block (LBBB) and the presence of systolic dysfunction are the major indications for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Mechanical ventricular dyssynchrony on echocardiography can help identify patients responsive to CRT. Left bundle-branch block can have different morphologic patterns. OBJECTIVE To compare the prevalence of mechanical dyssynchrony in differ...

Septal Deformation Patterns Delineate Mechanical Dyssynchrony and Regional Differences in Contractility: Analysis of Patient Data Using a Computer Model Leenders et al: Septal Deformation in Dyssynchronous Heart Failure

Background Response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) depends both on dyssynchrony and (regional) contractility. We hypothesized that septal deformation can be used to infer integrated information on dyssynchrony and regional contractility and thereby predict CRT response. Methods and Results In 132 CRT-candidates with left bundle branch block (LBBB)like ECG morphology (left ventricula...
