Abstract

High-frequency periodic sources during cardiac fibrillation can be detected by phase mapping techniques. To enable practical therapeutic options for modulating periodic sources (existing techniques require high density multielectrode arrays and real time simultaneous mapping capability), a method to identify electrogram morphologies colocalizing to rotors that can be implemented on few electrograms needs to be devised. Multichannel ventricular fibrillation electrogram data from 7 isolated human hearts using Langendorff setup and intraoperative clinical data from 2 human hearts were included in the analysis. The spatial locations of rotors were identified using phase maps constructed from 112 electrograms. Electrograms were analyzed for repeating patterns and discriminating signal morphologies around the locations of rotors and nonrotors were identified and quantified. Features were extracted from the unipolar electrogram patterns, which corroborated well with the spatial location of rotors. The results suggest that using the proposed modulation index feature, and as low as 1 sample point in the vicinity of the rotors, an accuracy as high as 86% (P<0.001) was obtained in separating rotor locations versus nonrotor locations.

Bipolar disorder is characterized by manic and/or depressive episodes and associated with uncommon shifts in mood, activity levels, and energy. Discover the latest research this illness here.

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.
