Bipolar stimulation of cardiac tissue using an anisotropic bidomain model.

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION:One of the fundamental electrophysiologic problems that has not yet been completely elucidated is the response of cardiac tissue to externally applied electric currents. A limited number of theoretical and experimental techniques has been used to study the electric behavior of cardiac tissue in the presence of stimulating currents, and to demonstrate that the anisotropy in the passive electrical properties of the tissue plays an important role in the genesis and propagation of the activation wavefront and the resulting potential distributions. METHODS AND RESULTS:In this work we have applied the finite element method to study the electric and magnetic fields produced by cardiac tissue in response to bipolar current injection, using a linear bidomain model to represent the tissue. We found that the transmembrane potential distribution close to the stimulus electrode has a rather complex geometrical pattern, with adjacent hyperpolarized and depolarized regions. CONCLUSION:This behavior is consistent with previous theoretical and experimental results and may have implications in the study of electrical stimulation of cardiac tissue that are not apparent using other models.

  • Paradoxical undersensing during atrial flutter: what is the mechanism?

    abstract::A patient with congenital complete heart block underwent implantation of a dual-chamber pacemaker. He presented to the emergency room with fatigue and was found to be in atrial flutter.
