    Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) afflicts more than 33 million people worldwide. Success of therapy strategies remains poor and better understanding of the arrhythmia and how to device more effective therapies are needed. The aim of this work is to study the role of electric power distributions in rotors and AF dynamics. For this purpose, single cell and tissue simulations were performed to study the effect of ionic currents gradients and fibrosis in rotor's drifting. The root mean square of the ionic (P

    Abstract Mutation in the hERG gene leading to partial or complete blockade of the rapid delayed rectifier current causes Long QT Type 2 (LQT2) phenotype, the second most common form of Long QT Syndrome. However, the exact involvement of the His-Purkinje System (HPS) remains elusive. We utilized a finite element model of the rabbit ventricles integrated with a HPS to elucidate the role of HPS during LQT2-mediated arrhythmia. Following the induction of persistent reentry from an ectopic stimulus, we isolated the HPS at different time points. Moreover, we varied the coupling resistance and the number of myocytes at the Purkinje-Myocardial Junctions (PMJs) to ascertain how the junctional parameters altered reentry dynamics. Reentry was terminated with the earliest termination time for reentry coinciding with the earliest time the HPS was isolated. This observation provides evidence of direct involvement of the HPS during LQT2-mediated ventricular arrhythmia. Increasing the coupling resistance or the number of myocytes at the PMJs reduced the percentage of successful retrograde propagation during reentry. Thus, the HPS alters reentry dynamics. Our multi-scale computer modeling outcomes offer important new understandings of probable arrhythmia mechanisms under LQT2 circumstances.

    Abstract With the increased prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) - a rhythm disturbance in heart's top chambers - there is growing interest in accurate non-invasive diagnosis of atrial activity to improve its therapy. A key component in non-invasive analysis of atrial activity is a successful removal of the ventricular QRST complexes from electrocardiograms (ECGs). In this study, we have developed a new approach for an objective and physiologically-based evaluation of QRST cancellation methods based on comparisons with the power spectra of the AF. Three commonly used QRST cancellation methods were evaluated; namely, average beat subtraction, singular value cancellation, and principal component analysis. These methods were evaluated in time and frequency domains using a set of synthesized ECGs preserving the atrial-specific temporal and spectral properties. It was observed that the ABS method provided the best estimation when QRST morphological variability is low, while PCA produces an overall best estimate when a large QRST morphological variability is present.

    Abstract Optical mapping of electrical activity in the heart is based on voltage-sensitive and lipophilic fluorescence dyes. Optical signals recorded from cardiac cells correlate well with their transmembrane potentials. High spatiotemporal resolution, wide field mapping, and high sensitivity to transmembrane potential enable detailed characterization of action potential initiation and propagation. Optical mapping is used to study complex patterns of excitation propagation, including propagation across the sinoatrial and atrioventricular nodes and during atrial and ventricular arrhythmias.Optical mapping is used to study the role of reentrant activity in atrial and ventricular fibrillation.
