Abstract

To fully characterize the mechanisms of defibrillation, it is necessary to understand the response, within the three-dimensional (3D) volume of the ventricles, to shocks given in diastole. Studies that have examined diastolic responses conducted measurements on the epicardium or on a transmural surface of the left ventricular (LV) wall only. The goal of this study was to use optical imaging experiments and 3D bidomain simulations, including a model of optical mapping, to ascertain the shock-induced virtual electrode and activation patterns throughout the rabbit ventricles following diastolic shocks. We tested the hypothesis that the locations of shock-induced regions of hyperpolarization govern the different diastolic activation patterns for shocks of reversed polarity. In model and experiment, uniform-field monophasic shocks of reversed polarities (cathode over the right ventricle is RV-, reverse polarity is LV-) were applied to the ventricles in diastole. Experiments and simulations revealed that RV- shocks resulted in longer activation times compared with LV- shocks of the same strength. 3D simulations demonstrated that RV- shocks induced a greater volume of hyperpolarization at shock end compared with LV- shocks; most of th...Continue Reading
