Experimental study of atrial fibrillation cycle length during rapid atrial septal pacing

Jean-Marc Vesin, Sasan Yazdani, Adrian Luca

Computer model-based simulations have shown that rapid stimulation at 60-100% of atrial fibrillation cycle length (AFCL) from a ring of electrodes located around the septum may induce local capture in both atria for most AF dynamics. The present study aims ...

Atrial fibrillation septal pacing: translation of modelling results

Adrian Luca

Aims: Atrial fibrillation (AF) septal pacing consists of rapid pacing from a ring of electrodes around the atrial septum, leading to local capture of both atria during AF. The present model-based study evaluated the impact of the number of stimulation elec ...

Study of the impact of electrical heterogeneities in the right and left atrium on atrial fibrillation perpetuation

Jean-Marc Vesin, Vincent Jacquemet, Adrian Luca

Introduction: Electrical heterogeneity in the atria has been consistently linked with the initiation and perpetuation of atrial fibrillation (AF). The present model-based study investigated the contribution of action potential duration (APD) heterogeneitie ...

Systematic comparison of non-invasive measures for the assessment of atrial fibrillation complexity: a step forward towards standardization of atrial fibrillation electrogram analysis

Jean-Marc Vesin, Laurent Renaud Uldry, Jérôme Sébastien Van Zaen

Aims To present a comparison of electrocardiogram-based non-invasive measures of atrial fibrillation (AF) substrate complexity computed on invasive animal recordings to discriminate between short-term and long-term AF. The final objective is the selection ...

Single breath-hold 3D measurement of left atrial volume using compressed sensing cardiovascular magnetic resonance and a non-model-based reconstruction approach

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Orestis Vardoulis

Background: Left atrial (LA) dilatation is associated with a large variety of cardiac diseases. Current cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) strategies to measure LA volumes are based on multi-breath-hold multi-slice acquisitions, which are time-consumi ...

Extracting Atrial Activations from Intracardiac Signals during Atrial Fibrillation using Adaptive Mathematical Morphology

Jean-Marc Vesin, Etienne Pruvot, Sasan Yazdani, Andréa Buttu

The detection of intracardiac activities is a major issue in the processing of atrial fibrillation signals. we evaluate a method based on mathematical morphology with an adaptive structuring element in order to extract the atrial activations from intracard ...

Modelling blood flows in the heart: extended Nitsche's method for the treatment of the valves as generalized boundary conditions

Alfio Quarteroni, Luca Dede', Anna Tagliabue

We investigate the blood flow inside idealized left ventricles with prescribed wall movement by defining a formulation of boundary conditions for the Navier-Stokes equations accounting for the valves. Specifically, we consider an extended Nitsche’s method ...

Influence of atrial substrate on local capture induced by rapid pacing of atrial fibrillation

Jean-Marc Vesin, Vincent Jacquemet, Alexandru Rusu

Preliminary studies showed that the septum area was the only location allowing local capture of both the atria during rapid pacing of atrial fibrillation (AF) from a single site. The present model-based study investigated the influence of atrial substrate ...
