Computer Simulation of Electrophysiology Study based on Whole - heart Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
Computer simulation of Electrophysiology Study (EPS) is realized by employing pacing protocols in EPS with the Wei-Harumi model. Intracardiac electrograms induced by typical pacing protocols–including the basic interval measurement, atrial extrastimulus pacing, ventricular extrastimulus pacing, incremental atrial pacing, and incremental ventricular pacing are successfully reproduced with a model of WPW syndrome. The tests of electrophysiological properties of cardiac tissues, such as the determination of the refractory period, induction of Wenckebach rhythms, and induction and termination of supraventricular tachycardias, are successfully simulated and the simulation results agree with clinical findings. This study demonstrates the feasibility and reliability of the computer simulation of EPS based on the whole-heart model.

متن کاملComputer Modelling in Cardiac Cell Electrophysiology
Experimentally based models of cardiac cells have been developed since 1960. The early models were based on extension of the Hodgkin-Huxley nerve impulse equations. Including only a few membrane currents they were able to successfully reconstruct the depolarization and repolarization of cellular membrane. Since that time, the models have underwent extensive modifications and reached a high degr...
متن کاملAn Experimental Framework to Validate 3D Models of Cardiac Electrophysiology Via Optical Imaging and MRI
Our aim is to develop a framework to validate 3-D computer models of cardiac electrophysiology using measurements of action potential obtained via optical imaging (based on voltage-sensitive fluorescence), and heart anatomy and fiber directions which are obtained from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In this paper we present preliminary results of this novel framework using a healthy porcine h...
