Abstract

This study sought to evaluate basket catheter deployment, catheter-tissue contact, and time-space stability of unipolar atrial electrograms (aEGMs) recorded in persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. Panoramic mapping of human AF using multiple-electrode basket catheters may identify AF sources. Although clinical results using this technique are provocative, questions remain about its effectiveness. Data were collected from patients (N = 25) undergoing catheter ablation for AF during the multicenter STARLIGHT (Signal Transfer of Atrial Fibrillation Data to Guide Human Treatment) trial (NCT01765075). Left and right aEGM signals were recorded using basket catheters during baseline AF, following ablation and during sinus rhythm. Data were analyzed for basket deployment, peak-to-peak voltage, and electrogram stability and organization. Electrogram stability and organization were evaluated via time-frequency analysis (TFA). Basket catheters displayed equatorial bunching when deployed in atria. Interspline spacing ranged from 1.7 to 64.0 mm in the right atrial and from 1.5 to 85.08 mm in the left atrial basket. Approximately one-third of mapping electrodes failed to demonstrate a median peak-to-peak voltage >2× the low-voltage ...Continue Reading

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.
