Abstract:
Objective To find a method for real-time measurement of epicardial electrical activity suitable for clinical application.Method Combined unipolar and bipolar mapping technique for recording epicardial electrical activity was applied to detect the propagation of depolarization wave over the epicardium.Epicardial signals from 4 pigs were sampled simultaneously during sinus rhythm or atrial fibrillation(AF).Result Active isopotential map showing the spread of excitation on epicardial surface was demonstrated and correlation analysis data were obtained.The difference in correlation coefficients between adjacent sites was evident during sinus rhythm(above 0.8) and AF(about(0.5).) Conclusion The result shows that combined unipolar and bipolar technique improves the electrode efficiency and the precision in epicardial mapping.Distribution of depolarization wave or the reentry pathway during complex arrhythmia may be revealed by correlation analysis.
