It is unknown whether ventricular fibrillation (VF) studied in experimental models represents in vivo human VF. First, we examined closed chest in vivo VF induced at defibrillation threshold testing (DFT) in four patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy

The ability of an electrical discharge to stimulate the heart depends on the duration of the pulse, the voltage and the current density that reaches the heart. Stun guns deliver very short electrical pulses with minimal amount of current at high volt

Our objective was to establish a novel model for the study of ventricular fibrillation (VF) in humans. We adopted the established techniques of optical mapping to human ventricles for the first time to determine whether human VF is the result of wave

Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is an important cause of sudden cardiac death and cardiovascular mortality in patients with cardiomyopathy. Although it was generally believed that chaotic reentrant wavefronts underlie VF in humans, there is emerging ev

Background:Diastolic potentials are often sought as a possible site for catheter ablation in post-infarct ventricular tachycardia. However, delivery of energy at such sites is often unsuccessful. The purpose of this study was to determine the charact

Controversy exists as to whether the unipolar or bipolar electrode configuration is superior in detecting local activations during cardiac mapping studies. However, the strengths and weaknesses of each mode suggest that they may provide complementary

Objectives. Four patients with previous repair of tetralogy of Fallot and ventricular tachycardia underwent map-guided surgery to ablate the arrhythmias. Background. Although patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot are at increased risk of sudden

A three-dimensional display is described that allows activation sequences from the epicardium and endocardium to be shown simultaneously on the same image. Three electrode arrays (epicardial sock, left ventricular balloon, right ventricular balloon)

Background: Dominant frequency (DF) analysis is a common way of quantitatively studying the spatio-temporal variation of frequency during VF. Areas of high frequencies (e.g. rotors) and low frequencies (e.g. blocks) have been associated with the occu

Background: We had recently established a model for the study of VF in humans using an optical mapping technique in Langendorff perfused human hearts. The optical mapping technique allows for the unequivocal evaluation of wavefront identification, th
