Issues in Modeling Cardiac Optical Mapping Measurements
نویسندگان
چکیده
Optical mapping allows to visualize cardiac action potentials (AP) on cardiac tissue surfaces by uorescence using voltage-sensitive dyes. So far, the surface measurements are directly related to surface AP. In a previous study was developed a method to reconstruct threedimensional depolarization front: the main idea was to solve an inverse problem using the experimental measures on the surfaces. Although the method was very accurate on in silico data, it showed di culties to recover real optical mapping measurements. Here we describe the di erent directions we followed to improve the results.

Processing and analysis of cardiac optical mapping data obtained with potentiometric dyes.
Optical mapping has become an increasingly important tool to study cardiac electrophysiology in the past 20 years. Multiple methods are used to process and analyze cardiac optical mapping data, and no consensus currently exists regarding the optimum methods. The specific methods chosen to process optical mapping data are important because inappropriate data processing can affect the content of ...
متن کاملThree-dimensional correction of conduction velocity in the embryonic heart using integrated optical mapping and optical coherence tomography.
Optical mapping (OM) of cardiac electrical activity conventionally collects information from a three-dimensional (3-D) surface as a two-dimensional (2-D) projection map. When applied to measurements of the embryonic heart, this method ignores the substantial and complex curvature of the heart surface, resulting in significant errors when calculating conduction velocity, an important electrophys...

Optical mapping of cardiac excitation using voltage- and calcium-sensitive dyes has allowed a unique view into excitation wave dynamics, and facilitated scientific discovery in the cardiovascular field. At the same time, the structural complexity of the native heart has prompted the design of simplified experimental models of cardiac tissue using cultured cell networks. Such reduced experimenta...

Panoramic optical mapping is the primary method for imaging electrophysiological activity from the entire outer surface of Langendorff-perfused hearts. To date, it is the only method of simultaneously measuring multiple key electrophysiological parameters, such as transmembrane voltage and intracellular free calcium, at high spatial and temporal resolution. Despite the impact it has already had...

Coastal Fars gravimetry project in Fars province was carried out to find the buried salt domes and to determine characteristics of faults in this area. The Lavarestan structure was covered by 4203 gravimetry stations in a regular grid of 1000*250 m. Depth structural model of this anticline made in previous studies was based on geological evidences and structural geology measurements. In order t...
