Abstract:
If heart function is normal, the atrial cells are excited in a stable rhythm. But this would change during atrial fibrillation. In this paper, after comparing with the method of characteristic point, we use the dominant frequency method to analyze the activation pattern under sinus and atrial fibrillation rhythm in different parts of atria based on epicardial mapping system. It is found that the activation rhythm changes a lot in different parts of atria, and the automaticity of atrial cells change obviously in somewhere. The result shows that dominant frequency method is very suitable for the analysis of atrial fibrillation signal. What's more, we also roughly discuss the role of this method in exploring the driving sources during atrial fibrillation.
