Outer loop and isthmus in ventricular tachycardia circuits: Characteristics and implications

Alfio Quarteroni, Luca Dede', Andrea Manzoni, Stefano Pagani

BACKGROUND The isthmus of ventricular tachycardia (VT) circuits has been extensively characterized. Few data exist regarding the contribution of the outer loop (OL) to the VT circuit. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to characterize the electrophysi ...

Ventricular response regularity in atrial fibrillation and its relationship to successful catheter ablation

Jean-Marc Vesin, Etienne Pruvot, Adrian Luca

Atrial rate is known to modulate ventricular response during atrial fibrillation (AF). The resulting pulse irregularity translates into widely varying inter-beat intervals (IBIs) extracted from recorded surface electrocardiogram (ECG) activity. In AF, the ...

Ultrasound Stimulations Induce Prolonged Depolarization and Fast Action Potentials in Leech Neurons

Théo Lemaire, Silvestro Micera

Objective: Ultrasound (US) stimulation carries the promise of a selective, reversible, and non-invasive modulation of neural activity without the need for genetic manipulation of neural structures. However, the mechanisms of US-induced generation of action ...

A Proof of Concept for Computational Fluid Dynamic Analysis of the Left Atrium in Atrial Fibrillation on a Patient-Specific Basis

Alfio Quarteroni, Davide Forti, Filippo Menghini

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with a fivefold increase in the risk of cerebrovascular events, being responsible of 15-18% of all strokes. The morphological and functional remodeling of the left atrium (LA) caused by AF favors blood stasis and, con ...
