A New Method for ECG Tracking of Persistent Atrial Fibrillation Termination during Stepwise Ablation

Jean-Marc Vesin, Andréa Buttu, Jérôme Sébastien Van Zaen, Etienne Pruvot

Stepwise radiofrequency catheter ablation (step-CA) has become the treatment of choice for the restoration of sinus rhythm (SR) in patients with long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (pers-AF). Its success rate appears limited as the amount of ablat ...

Long-term intermittent atrial tachycardia decreases activation recovery interval, flattens its kinetics and blunts its rate dependence before sustained atrial fibrillation

Jean-Marc Vesin, Florian Jousset, Etienne Pruvot

Introduction: We recently observed in an acute ovine model of pacing-induced atrial tachycardia (PIAT) that rapid atrial capture and fibrillatory conduction were prevented by 2:1 capture mediated by decreased excitability. We hypothesize that long-term int ...

Susceptibility to Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation: A Study using Sinus Rhythm P Wave Parameters

Jean-Marc Vesin, Lam Dang, Lukas Kappenberger

Early recognition of patients at high risk for atrial fibrillation may help to minimize potential health risks. The detection of susceptibility to develop atrial fibrillation is thus a real clinical challenge. Whereas many studies have used the signal-aver ...

Atrial Repolarization Alternans in a Chronic Sheep Model of Pacing-Induced Atrial Fibrillation

Jean-Marc Vesin, Florian Jousset, Etienne Pruvot

In pacing-induced models of atrial fibrillation (AF) that mimic atrial high-frequency foci, the increase in AF susceptibility over time is not paralleled by any increase in dispersion of repolarization (DOR). Measurements of effective refractory periods (E ...

The MRL mouse repairs both cryogenic and ischemic myocardial infarcts with scar

Yann Barrandon, Lukas Kappenberger, Hans-Anton Lehr

Objective: The MRL mouse strain shows extraordinary wound healing capacities. Some years ago, Leferovich et al. (Proc Natl Acad Sci U. S. A. 2001;98:9830-35) have reported the absence of scar formation after cryogenically-induced right ventricular myocardi ...

Analysing the potential of Reveal for monitoring cardiac potentials

Aims The implantable loop recorder (ILR) continuously monitors the heart’s electric activity by means of a subcutaneous bipolar electrogram (Elg). Currently, the relationship between the Elg and the surface electrocardiogram (ECG) has been poorly documente ...

An investigation into therapies for atrial arrythmias using a biophysical model of the human atria

Lam Dang

The most common type of sustained arrhythmia is atrial fibrillation (AF), affecting about 2% of the general population and 8% to 11% of the elderly, more than 65 years of age. The treatment of atrial arrythmia is still based on empirical considerations and ...

A biophysical model of atrial fibrillation and electrograms

Vincent Jacquemet

Atrial arrhythmias are the most frequent rhythm disorders in humans and often lead to severe complications such as heart failure and stroke. While different mapping techniques have provided significant information on the electrophysiological processes asso ...
