Abstract: Possible mechanisms of left-axis deviation (LAD) in the setting of left bundle branch block (LBBB) include differences in cardiac electrophysiology, structure, or anatomic axis.The purpose of this study was to clarify the mechanism(s) responsible for LAD in patients with LBBB.Twenty-nine patients with nonischemic cardiomyopathies and LBBB underwent noninvasive electrocardiographic imaging (ECGi), cardiac computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging in order to define ventricular electrical activation, characterize cardiac structure, and determine the cardiac anatomic axis.Sixteen patients had a normal QRS axis (NA) (mean axis 8° ± 23°), whereas 13 patients had LAD (mean axis -48° ± 13°; P.001). Total activation times were longer in the LAD group (112 ± 25 ms vs 91 ± 14 ms; P = .01) due to delayed activation of the basal anterolateral region (107 ± 10 ms vs 81 ± 17 ms; P .001). Left ventricular (LV) activation in patients with LAD was from apex to base, in contrast to a circumferential pattern of activation in patients with NA. Apex-to-base delay was longer in the LA group (95 ± 13 ms vs 64 ± 21 ms; P.001) and correlated with QRS frontal axis (RLAD in LBBB appears to be due to electrophysiological abnormalities rather than structural factors or cardiac anatomic axis.

Abstract: Aims Non-invasive imaging of electrical activation requires high-density body surface potential mapping. The nine electrodes of the 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) are insufficient for a reliable reconstruction with standard inverse methods. Patient-specific modelling may offer an alternative route to physiologically constraint the reconstruction. The aim of the study was to assess the feasibility of reconstructing the fully 3D electrical activation map of the ventricles from the 12-lead ECG and cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). Methods and results Ventricular activation was estimated by iteratively optimizing the parameters (conduction velocity and sites of earliest activation) of a patient-specific model to fit the simulated to the recorded ECG. Chest and cardiac anatomy of 11 patients (QRS duration 126–180 ms, documented scar in two) were segmented from CMR images. Scar presence was assessed by magnetic resonance (MR) contrast enhancement. Activation sequences were modelled with a physiologically based propagation model and ECGs with lead field theory. Validation was performed by comparing reconstructed activation maps with those acquired by invasive electroanatomical mapping of coronary sinus/veins (CS) and right ventricular (RV) and left ventricular (LV) endocardium. The QRS complex was correctly reproduced by the model (Pearson’s correlation r = 0.923). Reconstructions accurately located the earliest and latest activated LV regions (median barycentre distance 8.2 mm, IQR 8.8 mm). Correlation of simulated with recorded activation time was very good at LV endocardium (r = 0.83) and good at CS (r = 0.68) and RV endocardium (r = 0.58). Conclusion Non-invasive assessment of biventricular 3D activation using the 12-lead ECG and MR imaging is feasible. Potential applications include patient-specific modelling and pre-/per-procedural evaluation of ventricular activation.

Abstract: The Purkinje network is the specialized conduction system in the heart. It ensures the physiological spread of the electrical wave in the ventricles. In this work, in an insulated heart framework, we model the free running Purkinje system, using the monodomain equation. The intra-myocardium part of the Purkinje fiber is coupled to the ventricular tissue using the bidomain equation. The coupling is performed through the extracellular potential. We discretize the problem in time using a semi-implicit scheme. Then, we write a variational formulation of the semi discrete problem in a non standard weighted Sobolev functional spaces. We prove the existence and uniqueness of the solution of the Purkinje/myocardium semi-discretized problem. We discretize in space by the finite element P 1 − L a g r a n g e and conduct some numerical tests showing the anterograde and retrograde propagation of the electrical wave between the tissue and the Purkinje fibers.

Abstract: International audience; Patient-specific cardiac simulation rely on accurate geometric models extracted from medical images. Segmentation of cardiac images is a key, yet possibly error-prone part of patient-specific simulations, e.g., heart propagation models, ECG forward simulation, and ECG Imaging. In this study, we performed shape analysis on multiple segmentations of the same patient to quantify variability. We found that segmentation shape varied most in the basal region of the ventricles and the right ventricular outflow tract in all three structures, which could have significant impact on pipelines that depend on geometric models. The statistical shape-model generated using ShapeWorks provides a pathway to subsequently quantify the impact of the segmentation variability on modeling pipelines with uncertainty quantification.

Abstract: International audience; Given the opportunity to use a new cluster computer with over a quarter million compute cores we tested the strong and weak scaling of a monodomain reaction-diffusion model of the human ventricles with Ten Tusscher-Panfilov dynamics. Element sizes down to 25 µm and a model size up to 11 billion nodes were tested with both explicit and implicit Euler integration methods. Time steps were 0.01 ms for the implicit method and were resolution-dependent for the explicit method. We found that the weak scaling (increasing model size) was good for both methods. Depending on the model size, strong scaling (speedup at a larger number of cores) was satisfactory for the explicit method, and more limited for the implicit method. The implicit solver was generally slower; only at a resolution of 25 µm and on a relatively small number of cores it was as fast as the explicit solver. We conclude that whole-heart simulations at 25 µm resolution are technically feasible, although not practical yet on currently available systems.

Abstract: International audience; Premature ventricular contraction (PVC) is one of the mechanisms that induce Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) or Ventricular Fibrillation (VF). A way to cure PVC is to ab-late the origin with an endocardial catheter. But it can be difficult, and sometimes impossible, to localize this exit site accurately enough. We propose to accelerate catheter ablation using an automatic method to guide the catheter towards the PVC origin. This method uses the QRS complex integrals of the 8-lead ECGs of the PVC and a sequence of beats paced at known locations. The method was tested using 7 realistic heart-torso models with PVCs in endocardial, epicardial, and intramural tissue. With 10 pacing sites, 95 % of the targets had been approximated to less than 5 mm. We conclude that although the convergence is sometimes erratic, the proposed method does converge to the origin, often within the radius of an ablation lesion.

Abstract: International audience; Background: Noninvasive electrocardiographic imaging (ECGI) provides real-time panoramic images of epicardial electrical activity from potential measurements on the torso surface. Several numerical methods are commonly used for ECGI, including the finite-element method (FEM), the boundary-element method (BEM) and the method of fundamental solutions (MFS). However, doubts remain about the ability of these methods to detect the presence of regions of slow conduction in structurally abnormal hearts.Objective: The purpose of this study was to develop a method toassess the ability of ECGI to find regions of slow conduction in sinus rhythm.Method: Slow conduction was inferred from large activation time gradients. To determine these gradients we computed the activation time difference between each node and all other nodes within 10 mm, and tested five different methods (maximum, minimum, average, nearest neighbour and random) to define a unique difference value at each node. To estimate the activation times themselves, we tested the current ECGI methods (FEM, MFS) and a novel numerical method called the Patchwork Method (PM), which locally chooses the optimal ECGI method.Results: Two methods of computing activation time gradients (maximum and average) accurately located 6 of the 7 zones of tissue damage. Furthermore, the PM method succeeded in locating 5 of the 6 slow conduction zones recorded whereas classical ECGI methods did not locate any damaged zone.Conclusion: In this study, the novel ECGI approach presented is an efficient tool to help overcome some of the limitations of classical numerical methods in sinus rhythm in structurally abnormal hearts, showing its ability in detecting regions of slow conduction by using the average or maximum activation time gradient.

Abstract: International audience; Mathematical modelling and numerical simulation in cardiac electrophysiology have already been studied extensively. However, there is a clear lack of techniques and methodologies for studying the propagation of action potential in a heart with structural defects. In this article, we present a modified version of the bidomain model, derived using homogenisation techniques with the assumption of existence of diffusive inclusions in the cardiac tissue. The diffusive inclusions represent regions without electrically active myocytes, for example, fat, fibrosis, and so forth. We present an application of this model to a rat heart. Starting from high-resolution MRI, the geometry of the heart is built and meshed using image processing techniques. We perform a study of the effects of tissue heterogeneities induced by diffusive inclusions on the velocity and shape of the depolarisation wavefront. We present several test cases with different geometries of diffusive inclusions. We reach the conclusion that the conduction velocity is not affected in the best cases, while it is affected by up to 76% in the worst case scenario. Additionally, the shape of the wavefront was affected in some cases.

Abstract: BackgroundAtrial fibrillation (AF) is accompanied by progressive epicardial fibrosis, dissociation of electrical activity between the epicardial layer and the endocardial bundle network, and transmural conduction (breakthroughs). However, causal relationships between these phenomena have not been demonstrated yet. Our goal was to test the hypothesis that epicardial fibrosis suffices to increase endo-epicardial dissociation (EED) and breakthroughs (BT) during AF.MethodsWe simulated the effect of fibrosis in the epicardial layer on EED and BT in a detailed, high-resolution, three-dimensional model of the human atria with realistic electrophysiology. The model results were compared with simultaneous endo-epicardial mapping in human atria. The model geometry, specifically built for this study, was based on MR images and histo-anatomical studies. Clinical data were obtained in four patients with longstanding persistent AF (persAF) and three patients without a history of AF.ResultsThe AF cycle length (AFCL), conduction velocity (CV), and EED were comparable in the mapping studies and the simulations. EED increased from 24.1 +/- 3.4 to 56.58 +/- 6.2% (p < 0.05), and number of BTs per cycle from 0.89 +/- 0.55 to 6.74 +/- 2.11% (p < 0.05), in different degrees of fibrosis in the epicardial layer. In both mapping data and simulations, EED correlated with prevalence of BTs. Fibrosis also increased the number of fibrillation waves per cycle in the model. ConclusionA realistic 3D computer model of AF in which epicardial fibrosis was increased, in the absence of other pathological changes, showed increases in EED and epicardial BT comparable to those in longstanding persAF. Thus, epicardial fibrosis can explain both phenomena.

Abstract: Providing therapies tailored to each patient is the vision of precision medicine, enabled by the increasing ability to capture extensive data about individual patients. In this position paper, we argue that the second enabling pillar towards this vision is the increasing power of computers and algorithms to learn, reason, and build the 'digital twin' of a patient. Computational models are boosting the capacity to draw diagnosis and prognosis, and future treatments will be tailored not only to current health status and data, but also to an accurate projection of the pathways to restore health by model predictions. The early steps of the digital twin in the area of cardiovascular medicine are reviewed in this article, together with a discussion of the challenges and opportunities ahead. We emphasize the synergies between mechanistic and statistical models in accelerating cardiovascular research and enabling the vision of precision medicine. ispartof: EUROPEAN HEART JOURNAL vol:41 issue:48 pages:4556-+ ispartof: location:England status: published

Abstract: International audience; The pericardium affects cardiac motion by limiting epicardial displacement normal to the surface. In computational studies, it is important for the model to replicate realistic motion, as this affects the physiological fidelity of the model. Previous computational studies showed that accounting for the effect of the pericardium allows for a more realistic motion simulation. In this study, we describe the mechanism through which the pericardium causes improved cardiac motion. We simulated electrical activation and contraction of the ventricles on a four-chamber heart in the presence and absence of the effect of the pericardium. We simulated the mechanical constraints imposed by the pericardium by applying normal Robin boundary conditions on the ventricular epicardium. We defined a regional scaling of normal springs stiffness based on image-derived motion from CT images. The presence of the pericardium reduced the error between simulated and image-derived end-systolic configurations from 12.8±4.1 mm to 5.7±2.5 mm. First, the pericardium prevents the ventricles from spherising during isovolumic contraction, reducing the outward motion of the free walls normal to the surface and the upwards motion of the apex. Second, by restricting the inward motion of the free and apical walls of the ventricles the pericardium increases atrioventricular plane displacement by four folds during ejection. Our results provide a mechanistic explanation of the importance of the pericardium in physiological simulations of electromechanical cardiac function.

Abstract: Computational models of the heart are increasingly being used in the development of devices, patient diagnosis and therapy guidance. While software techniques have been developed for simulating single hearts, there remain significant challenges in simulating cohorts of virtual hearts from multiple patients. To facilitate the development of new simulation and model analysis techniques by groups without direct access to medical data, image analysis techniques and meshing tools, we have created the first publicly available virtual cohort of twenty-four four-chamber hearts. Our cohort was built from heart failure patients, age 6714 years. We segmented four-chamber heart geometries from end-diastolic (ED) CT images and generated linear tetrahedral meshes with an average edge length of 1.10.2mm. Ventricular fibres were added in the ventricles with a rule-based method with an orientation of -60 and 80 at the epicardium and endocardium, respectively. We additionally refined the meshes to an average edge length of 0.390.10mm to show that all given meshes can be resampled to achieve an arbitrary desired resolution. We ran simulations for ventricular electrical activation and free mechanical contraction on all 1.1mm-resolution meshes to ensure that our meshes are suitable for electro-mechanical simulations. Simulations for electrical activation resulted in a total activation time of 14916ms. Free mechanical contractions gave an average left ventricular (LV) and right ventricular (RV) ejection fraction (EF) of 351% and 302%, respectively, and a LV and RV stroke volume (SV) of 9528mL and 6511mL, respectively. By making the cohort publicly available, we hope to facilitate large cohort computational studies and to promote the development of cardiac computational electro-mechanics for clinical applications.

Abstract: Background: With increasing clinical use of Electrocardiographic Imaging (ECGI), it is imperative to understand the limits of this technique. The objective of this study is to evaluate a potential-based ECGI approach for activation and repolarization mapping in sinus rhythm.Method: Langendorff-perfused pig hearts were suspended in a human-shaped torso tank. Electrograms were recorded with a 108-electrode sock and ECGs with 256 electrodes embedded in the tank surface. Left bundle branch block (LBBB) was developed in 4 hearts through ablation, and repolarization abnormalities in another 4 hearts through regional perfusion of dofetilide and pinacidil. Electrograms were noninvasively reconstructed and reconstructed activation and repolarization features were compared to those recorded.Results: Visual consistency between ECGI and recorded activation and repolarization maps was high. While reconstructed repolarization times showed significantly more error than activation times quantitatively, patterns were reconstructed with a similar level of accuracy. The number of epicardial breakthrough sites was underestimated by ECGI and these were misplaced (>20 mm) in location. Likewise, ECGI reconstructed activation maps demonstrated artificial lines of block resulting from a W-shaped QRS waveform that were not present in recorded maps. Nevertheless, ECGI allowed identification of regions of abnormal repolarization reasonably accurately in terms of size, location and timing.Conclusions: This study validates a potential-based ECGI approach to noninvasively image activation and recovery in sinus rhythm. Despite inaccuracies in epicardial breakthroughs and lines of conduction block, other important clinical features such as regions of abnormal repolarization can be accurately derived making ECGI a valuable clinical tool.

Abstract: International audience; Cardiac resynchronization therapy is not effective in a variable proportion of heart failure patients. An accurate knowledge of each patient's electroanatomical features could be helpful to determine the most appropriate treatment. The goal of this study was to analyze and quantify the sensitivity of left ventricular (LV) activation and the electrocardiogram (ECG) to changes in 39 parameters used to tune realistic anatomical-electrophysiological models of the heart. Electrical activity in the ventricles was simulated using a reaction-diffusion equation. To simulate cellular electrophysiology, the Ten Tusscher-Panfilov 2006 model was used. Intracardiac electrograms and 12-lead ECGs were computed by solving the bidomain equation. Parameters showing the highest sensitivity values were similar in the six patients studied. QRS complex and LV activation times were modulated by the sodium current, the cell surface-to-volume ratio in the LV, and tissue conductivities. The T-wavewas modulated by the calcium and rectifier-potassium currents, and the cell surface-to-volume ratio in both ventricles. We conclude that homogeneous changes in ionic currents entail similar effects in all ECG leads, whereas the effects of changes in tissue properties show larger inter-lead variability. The effects of parameter variations are highly consistent between patients and most of the model tuning could be performed with only ~10 parameters.

Abstract: International audience; We propose a mathematical approach for the analysis of drugs effects on the electrical activity of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived car-diomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) based on multi-electrode array (MEA) experiments. Our goal is to produce an in silico tool able to simulate drugs action in MEA/hiPSC-CM assays. The mathematical model takes into account the geometry of the MEA and the electrodes' properties. The electrical activity of the stem cells at the ion-channel level is governed by a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The ODEs are coupled to the bidomain equations, describing the propagation of the electrical wave in the stem cells preparation. The field potential (FP) measured by the MEA is modeled by the extra-cellular potential of the bidomain equations. First, we propose a strategy allowing us to generate a field potential in good agreement with the experimental data. We show that we are able to reproduce realistic field potentials by introducing different scenarios of heterogeneity in the action potential. This heterogeneity reflects the differentiation atria/ventricles and the age of the cells. Second, we introduce a drug/ion channels interaction based on a pore block model. We conduct different simulations for five drugs (mexiletine, dofetilide, bepridil, ivabradine and BayK). We compare the simulation results with the field potential collected from experimental measurements. Different biomarkers computed on the FP are considered, including depolarization amplitude, repolarization delay, repolarization amplitude and depolarization-repolarization segment. The simulation results show that the model reflect properly the main effects of these drugs on the FP.

Abstract: Background: Both duration and morphology of the T-wave are regarded important parameters describing repolarization of the ventricles. Conventionally, T-wave concordance is explained by an inverse relation between the time of depolarization (TD) and repolarization (TR). Little is known about T-wave morphology and TD-TR relations in patients with heart failure.Methods: Electro-anatomic maps were obtained in the left (LV) and right ventricle (RV) and in the coronary sinus (CS) in patients with heart failure with narrow (nQRS, n = 8) and wide QRS complex with (LBBB, n = 15) and without left bundle branch block (non-LBBB, n = 7). TD and TR were determined from the thus acquired electrograms.Results: In nQRS and non-LBBB patients, TD-TR relations had a slope between 0 and +1, indicating that repolarization followed the sequence of depolarization. In LBBB patients, repolarization occurred significantly earlier in the RV than in the LV, fitting with the idea that the discordant T-waves in LBBB are secondary to the abnormal depolarization sequence. However, the slopes of the TD-TR relations in the LV and CS were not significantly different from zero, indicating no major spatial gradient in LV repolarization, despite a considerable gradient in depolarization. Remarkable was also the large (similar to 100ms) transseptal gradient in repolarization. Values of the slopes of the TD-TR relation overlapped between the three patient groups, despite a difference in T-wave morphology between LBBB (all discordant) and nQRS patients (all flat/biphasic).Conclusions: Discordant T-waves in LBBB patients are explained by interventricular dispersion in repolarization. T-wave morphology is determined by more factors than the TD-TR relation alone. (C) 2017 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ireland Ltd.

Abstract: International audience; The atrial-specific ultrarapid delayed rectifier K+ current (IKur) inactivates slowly but completely at depolarized voltages. The consequences for IKur rate-dependence have not been analyzed in detail and currently available mathematical action-potential (AP) models do not take into account experimentally observed IKur inactivation dynamics. Here, we developed an updated formulation of IKur inactivation that accurately reproduces time-, voltage-, and frequency-dependent inactivation. We then modified the human atrial cardiomyocyte Courtemanche AP model to incorporate realistic IKur inactivation properties. Despite markedly different inactivation dynamics, there was no difference in AP parameters across a wide range of stimulation frequencies between the original and updated models. Using the updated model, we showed that, under physiological stimulation conditions, IKur does not inactivate significantly even at high atrial rates because the transmembrane potential spends little time at voltages associated with inactivation. Thus, channel dynamics are determined principally by activation kinetics. IKur magnitude decreases at higher rates because of AP changes that reduce IKur activation. Nevertheless, the relative contribution of IKur to AP repolarization increases at higher frequencies because of reduced activation of the rapid delayed-rectifier current IKr. Consequently, IKur block produces dose-dependent termination of simulated atrial fibrillation (AF) in the absence of AF-induced electrical remodeling. The inclusion of AF-related ionic remodeling stabilizes simulated AF and greatly reduces the predicted antiarrhythmic efficacy of IKur block. Our results explain a range of experimental observations, including recently reported positive rate-dependent IKur-blocking effects on human atrial APs, and provide insights relevant to the potential value of IKur as an antiarrhythmic target for the treatment of AF.

Abstract: International audience; The Purkinje network is the rapid conduction system in the heart. It ensures the physiological spread of the electrical wave in the ventricles. In this work, we consider a problem that models the coupling between the Purkinje network and the myocardium. We first prove the stability of the space semi-discretized problem. Then we present four different strategies for solving the Purkinje/ myocardium coupling. The strategies are based on different time discretization of the coupling terms. The first scheme is fully coupled, where the coupling terms are considered implicit. The second and the third schemes are based on Gauss-Seidel time-splitting schemes where one coupling term is considered explicit and the other is implicit. The last is a Jacobi-like time-splitting scheme where both coupling terms are considered explicit. Our main result is the proof of the stability of the three considered schemes under the same restriction on the time step. Moreover, we show that the energy of the problem is slightly affected by the time-splitting schemes. We illustrate the theoretical result by different numerical simulations in 2D. We also conduct 3D simulations using physiologically detailed ionic models.

Abstract: International audience; It has been suggested that the spatiotemporal characteristics of complex cardiac arrhythmias can be extracted from the spectrum of cardiac signals. However, the analysis of simple bioelectric models indicates that the spectrum of cardiac signals can be affected by the spatial resolution of the electrode system. In this study, we derive exact measurement transfer functions relating the spectrum of cardiac signals to the spatiotemporal dynamics of cardiac sources and estimate their bandwidths. The analysis of the measurement transfer bandwidths for dynamics with different degrees of spatiotemporal correlation shows that as the spatial resolution decreases, the bandwidth of the measurement transfer function decreases until it reaches a constant value. Moreover, this transition from decreasing to constant values is determined by the degree of spatiotemporal correlation of the underlying cardiac source. Motivated by our analytical results, we investigate in a realistic computer simulation environment the impact of additive noise on the accuracy of body-surface dominant frequency (DF) maps. Our simulation results show that meaningful DF values are obtained on those locations where the analytical measurement transfer bandwidth is wide. These findings suggest that the accuracy of body-surface DF maps can be limited by the low spatial resolution of body-surface electrode systems.

Abstract: International audience; Previous work has shown that fibrillation can be induced by rapid pacing in a model of the human atria without fibrosis or repolarization heterogeneity. The purpose of this study was to investigate how sensitive this type of arrhythmia induction is to model parameters.Simulations were performed with a monodomain reaction-diffusion model with Courtemanche dynamics on a volumetric atrial mesh with all the major bundle structures and layered fiber orientation. The ionic model parameters were modified to represent electrically remodeled atria, uniformly. The model was stimulated with decreasing cycle length to drive the atria to maximum rate, and simulated over 10 seconds. This was tried with 10 different pacing locations and 46 different values of the conductivity, GCaL, of the L-type calcium current.For GCaL values up to 130% of the initial value, on average 4 out of 10 pacing sites induced AF. However, the positive sites were different for each tested GCaL level, even at 1% increments. Beyond 130%, the AF induction rate decreased. Every pacing site yielded AF for a subset of parameter values, but some sites more frequently.In conclusion, AF induction is highly sensitive to parameter values. The global decrease in induction seen for large GCaL may be due to the increased wavelength.

Abstract: International audience; Ventricular tachychardia (VT) is one of the mechanisms that induce sudden cardiac death. A way to cure VT is to ablate the exit site with an endocardial catheter. But it can be difficult, and sometimes impossible, to localize this exit site accurately enough. We propose a process to accelerate catheter ablation using an automatic method to guide the catheter towards the exit site. The proposed process uses the QRS complex integral of the 12-lead ECG. The method was tested using a realistic numerical forward model with pacing sites in endocardial, epicardial, and mid-myocardial tissue. With 12 pacing sites, 6 targets had been approximated to less than 1 mm. Five more were within 5 mm distance, and one was at 10 mm distance. We conclude that although the convergence is sometimes erratic, the proposed method does converge to the exit site, often within the radius of an ablation lesion.

Abstract: International audience; The method of fundamental solutions (MFS) has been extensively used for the electrocardiographic imaging (ECGI) inverse problem. One of its advantages is that it is a meshless method. We remarked that the using cm instead of mm as a space unit has a high impact on the reconstructed inverse solution. Our purpose is to refine this observation, by introducing a rescaling coefficient in space and study its effect on the MFS inverse solution. Results are provided using simulated test data prepared using a reaction-diffusion model. We then computed the ECGI inverse solution for rescaling coefficient values varying from 1 to 100, and computed the relative error (RE) and correlation coefficient (CC). This approach improved the RE and CC by at least 10% but can go up to 40% independently of the pacing site. We concluded that the optimal coefficient depends on the heterogeneity and anisotropy of the torso and does not depend on the stimulation site. This suggests that it is related to an optimal equivalent conductivity estimation in the torso domain.

Abstract: International audience; We consider a model-based estimation procedure-namely a data assimilation algorithm-of the atrial depolarization state of a subject using data corresponding to electro-anatomical maps. Our objective is to evaluate the sensitivity of such a model-based reconstruction with respect to model choices. The followed data assimilation approach is capable of using electrical activation times to adapt a monodomain model simulation, thanks to an ingenious model-data fitting term inspired from image processing. The resulting simulation smoothes and completes the activation maps when they are spatially incomplete. Moreover, conductivity parameters can also be inferred. The model sensitivity assessment is performed based on synthetic data generated with a validated realistic atria model and then inverted using simpler modeling ingredients. In particular, the impact of the muscle fibers definition and corresponding anisotropic conductivity parameters is studied. Finally, an application of the method to real data is presented, showing promising results.

Abstract: International audience; The electrocardiographic imaging (ECGI) inverse problem highly relies on adding constraints, a process called regularization, as the problem is ill-posed. When there are no prior information provided about the unknown epicardial potentials, the Tikhonov regularization method seems to be the most commonly used technique. In the Tikhonov approach the weight of the constraints is determined by the regularization parameter. However, the regularization parameter is problem and data dependent, meaning that different numerical models or different clinical data may require different regularization parameters. Then, we need to have as many regularization parameter-choice methods as techniques to validate them. In this work, we addressed this issue by showing that the Discrete Picard Condition (DPC) can guide a good regularization parameter choice for the two-norm Tikhonov method. We also studied the feasibility of two techniques: The U-curve method (not yet used in the cardiac field) and a novel automatic method, called ADPC due its basis on the DPC. Both techniques were tested with simulated and experimental data when using the method of fundamental solutions as a numerical model. Their efficacy was compared with the efficacy of two widely used techniques in the literature, the L-curve and the CRESO methods. These solutions showed the feasibility of the new techniques in the cardiac setting, an improvement of the morphology of the reconstructed epicardial potentials, and in most of the cases of their amplitude.

Abstract: Contains fulltext : 209377.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access) Introduction: Timing of atrial, right (RV), and left ventricular (LV) stimulation in cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is known to affect electrical activation and pump function of the LV. In this study, we used computer simulations, with input from animal experiments, to investigate the effect of varying pacing delays on both LV and RV electrical dyssynchrony and contractile function. Methods: A pacing protocol was performed in dogs with atrioventricular block (N = 6), using 100 different combinations of atrial (A)-LV and A-RV pacing delays. Regional LV and RV electrical activation times were measured using 112 electrodes and LV and RV pressures were measured with catheter-tip micromanometers. Contractile response to a pacing delay was defined as relative change of the maximum rate of LV and RV pressure rise (dP/dtmax) compared to RV pacing with an A-RV delay of 125 ms. The pacing protocol was simulated in the CircAdapt model of cardiovascular system dynamics, using the experimentally acquired electrical mapping data as input. Results: Ventricular electrical activation changed with changes in the amount of LV or RV pre-excitation. The resulting changes in dP/dtmax differed markedly between the LV and RV. Pacing the LV 10-50 ms before the RV led to the largest increases in LV dP/dtmax. In contrast, RV dP/dtmax was highest with RV pre-excitation and decreased up to 33% with LV pre-excitation. These opposite patterns of changes in RV and LV dP/dtmax were reproduced by the simulations. The simulations extended these observations by showing that changes in steady-state biventricular cardiac output differed from changes in both LV and RV dP/dtmax. The model allowed to explain the discrepant changes in dP/dtmax and cardiac output by coupling between atria and ventricles as well as between the ventricles. Conclusion: The LV and the RV respond in a opposite manner to variation in the amount of LV or RV pre-excitation. Computer simulations capture LV and RV behavior during pacing delay variation and may be used in the design of new CRT optimization studies.

Abstract: Background: Non-invasive electrocardiographic imaging (ECGI) is a promising tool to provide high-resolution panoramic imaging of cardiac electrical activity noninvasively from body surface potential measurements. Current experimental methods for ECGI validation are limited to comparison with unipolar electrograms and the relatively low spatial resolution of cardiac mapping arrays. We aim to develop a novel experimental set up combining a human shaped torso tank with high-resolution optical mapping allowing the validation of ECGI reconstructions. Methods: Langendorff-perfused pig hearts (n = 3) were suspended in a human torso-shaped tank, with the left anterior descending artery (LAD) cannulated on a separate perfusion. Electrical signals were recorded from an 108-electrode epicardial sock and 128 electrodes embedded in the tank surface. Simultaneously, optical mapping of the heart was performed through the anterior surface of the tank. Recordings were made in sinus rhythm and ventricular pacing (n = 55), with activation and repolarization heterogeneities induced by perfusion of hot and cold solutions as well as Sotalol through the LAD. Fluoroscopy provided 3D cardiac and electrode geometries in the tank that were transformed to the 2D optical mapping window using an optimization algorithm. Epicardial unipolar electrograms were reconstructed from torso potentials using ECGI and validated using optical activation and repolarization maps. Results: The transformation and alignment of the 3D geometries onto the 2D optical mapping window was good with an average correlation of 0.87 ± 0.10 and error of 7.7 ± 3.1 ms with activation derived from the sock. The difference in repolarization times were more substantial (error = 17.4 ± 3.7 ms) although the sock and optical repolarization patterns themselves were very similar (correlation = 0.83 ± 0.13). Validation of ECGI reconstructions revealed ECGI accurately captures the pattern of activation (correlation = 0.79 ± 0.11) and identified regions of late and/or early repolarization during different perfusions through LAD. ECGI also correctly demonstrated gradients in both activation and repolarization, although in some cases these were under or over-estimated or shifted slightly in space. Conclusion: A novel experimental setup has been developed, combining a human-shaped torso tank with optical mapping, which can be effectively used in the validation of ECGI techniques; including the reconstruction of activation and repolarization patterns and gradients.

Abstract: There is no known strategy to differentiate which multicomponent electrograms in sinus rhythm maintain reentrant ventricular tachycardia (VT). Low entropy in the voltage breakdown of a multicomponent electrogram can localize conditions suitable for reentry but has not been validated against the classic VT activation mapping. We examined whether low entropy in a late and diversely activated ventricular scar region characterizes and differentiates the diastolic path of VT and represents protected tissue channels devoid of side branches. Intraoperative bipolar electrogram (BiEGM) activation and entropy maps were obtained during sinus rhythm in 17 patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy and compared with diastolic activation paths of VT (total of 39 VTs). Mathematical modeling of a zigzag main channel with side branches was also used to further validate structural representation of low entropy in the ventricular scar. A median of one region per patient (range: 1–2 regions) was identified in sinus rhythm, in which BiEGMwith the latest mean activation time and adjacent minimum entropy were assembled together in a high-activation dispersion region. These regions accurately recognized diastolic paths of 34 VTs, often to multiple inducible VTs within a single individual arrhythmogenic region. In mathematical modeling, side branching from the main channel had a strong influence on the BiEGMcomposition along the main channel. The BiEGMobtained from a long unbranched channel had the lowest entropy compared with those with multiple side branches. In conclusion, among a population of multicomponent sinus electrograms, those that demonstrate low entropy and are delayed colocalize to critical long-protected channels of VT. This information is pertinent for planning VT ablation in sinus rhythm.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Entropy is a measure to quantify breakdown in information. Electrograms from a protected tissue channel can only possess a few states in their voltage and thus less information. In contrast, current-load interactions from side branches in unprotected channels introduce a number of dissimilar voltage deflections and thus high information. We compare here a mapping approach based on entropy against a rigorous reference standard of activation mapping during VT and entropy was assessed in sinus rhythm.

Abstract: International audience; Activation mapping in animal models of atrial fibrillation (AF) has shown that activation patterns can repeat for several cycles and then be followed by different changing or repetitive patterns. Subsequent clinical studies have suggested a similar type of activity in human AF. Our purpose was to investigate whether a computer model of human AF can reproduce this behavior. We used a three-dimensional model of the human atria consisting of 0.2-mm volumetric elements with a detailed representation of bundle structures and fiber orientations. Propagating activation was simulated over 9 seconds with a monodomain reaction-diffusion model using human atrial membrane dynamics. AF was induced by rapid pacing. Pattern recurrence was quantified using a similarity measure based on transmembrane voltage at 1000 uniformly distributed points in the model. Recurrence plots demonstrated a continuous evolution of patterns, but the speed of evolution varied considerably. Groups of upto 15 similar cycles could be recognized, separated by rapid changes. In a few cases truly periodic patterns developed, which were related to macroscopic anatomical reentry. The drivers of non-periodic patterns could not be clearly identified. For example, a spiral wave could appear or disappear without an obvious impact on the similarity between cycles. We conclude that our model can indeed reproduce strong variations in similarity between subsequent cycles, but true periodicity only in case of anatomical reentry.

Abstract: Background: Acetylcholine (ACh) shortens action potential duration (APD) in human atria. APD shortening facilitates atrial fibrillation (AF) by reducing the wavelength for reentry. However, the influence of ACh on electrical conduction in human atria and its contribution to AF are unclear, particularly when combined with impaired conduction from interstitial fibrosis.Objective: To investigate the effect of ACh on human atrial conduction and its role in AF with computational, experimental, and clinical approaches.Methods: S1S2 pacing (S1 = 600 ms and S2 = variable cycle lengths) was applied to the following human AF computer models: a left atrial appendage (LAA) myocyte to quantify the effects of ACh on APD, maximum upstroke velocity (Vmax), and resting membrane potential (RMP); a monolayer of LAA myocytes to quantify the effects of ACh on conduction; and 3) an intact left atrium (LA) to determine the effects of ACh on arrhythmogenicity. Heterogeneous ACh and interstitial fibrosis were applied to the monolayer and LA models. To corroborate the simulations, APD and RMP from isolated human atrial myocytes were recorded before and after 0.1 μM ACh. At the tissue level, LAAs from AF patients were optically mapped ex vivo using Di-4-ANEPPS. The difference in total activation time (AT) was determined between AT initially recorded with S1 pacing, and AT recorded during subsequent S1 pacing without (n = 6) or with (n = 7) 100 μM ACh.Results: In LAA myocyte simulations, S1 pacing with 0.1 μM ACh shortened APD by 41 ms, hyperpolarized RMP by 7 mV, and increased Vmax by 27 mV/ms. In human atrial myocytes, 0.1 μM ACh shortened APD by 48 ms, hyperpolarized RMP by 3 mV, and increased Vmax by 6 mV/ms. In LAA monolayer simulations, S1 pacing with ACh hyperpolarized RMP to delay total AT by 32 ms without and 35 ms with fibrosis. This led to unidirectional conduction block and sustained reentry in fibrotic LA with heterogeneous ACh during S2 pacing. In AF patient LAAs, S1 pacing with ACh increased total AT from 39.3 ± 26 ms to 71.4 ± 31.2 ms (p = 0.036) compared to no change without ACh (56.7 ± 29.3 ms to 50.0 ± 21.9 ms, p = 0.140).Conclusion: In fibrotic atria with heterogeneous parasympathetic activation, ACh facilitates AF by shortening APD and slowing conduction to promote unidirectional conduction block and reentry.

Abstract: International audience; Transient receptor potential melastatin member 4 (TRPM4) channels are nonselective monovalent cationic channels found in human atria and conduction system. Overexpression of TRPM4 channels has been found in families suffering from inherited cardiac arrhythmias, notably heart block. In this study, we integrate a mathematical formulation of the TRPM4 channel into a Purkinje cell model (Pan-Rudy model). Instead of simply adding the channel to the model, a combination of existing currents equivalent to the TRPM4 current was constructed, based on TRPM4 current dynamics. The equivalent current was then replaced by the TRPM4 current to preserve the model action potential. Single-cell behavior showed early afterdepolarizations for increases in TRPM4 channel expression above twofold. In a homogeneous strand of tissue, propagation conducted faithfully for lower expression levels but failed completely for more than a doubling of TRPM4 channel expression. Only with a heterogeneous distribution of channel expression was intermittent heart block seen. This study suggests that in Purkinje fibers, TRPM4 channels may account for sodium background current (INab), and that a heterogeneous expression of TRPM4 channels in the His/Purkinje system is required for type II heart block, as seen clinically.

Abstract: Aims Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a progressive arrhythmia characterized by structural alterations that increase its stability. Both clinical and experimental studies showed a concomitant loss of antiarrhythmic drug efficacy in later stages of AF. The mechanisms underlying this loss of efficacy are not well understood. We hypothesized that structural remodelling may explain this reduced efficacy by making the substrate more three-dimensional. To investigate this, we simulated the effect of sodium (Nathorn)-channel block on AF in a model of progressive transmural uncoupling. Methods and results In a computer model consisting of two cross-connected atrial layers, with realistic atrial membrane behaviour, structural remodelling was simulated by reducing the number of connections between the layers. 100% of endoepicardial connectivity represented a healthy atrium. At various degrees of structural remodelling, we assessed the effect of 60% sodium channel block on AF stability, endo-epicardial electrical activity dissociation (EED), and fibrillatory conduction pattern complexity quantified by number of waves, phase singularities (PSs), and transmural conduction ('breakthrough', BT). Sodium channel block terminated AF in non-remodelled but not in remodelled atria. The temporal excitable gap (EG) and AF cycle length increased at all degrees of remodelling when compared with control. Despite an increase of EED and EG, sodium channel block decreased the incidence of BT because of transmural conduction block. Sodium channel block decreased the number of waves and PSs in normal atrium but not in structurally remodelled atrium. Conclusion This simple atrial model explains the loss of efficacy of sodium channel blockers in terminating AF in the presence of severe structural remodelling as has been observed experimentally and clinically. Atrial fibrillation termination in atria with moderate structural remodelling in the presence of sodium channel block is caused by reduction of AF complexity. With more severe structural remodelling, sodium channel block fails to promote synchronization of the two layers of the model.

Abstract: Background Local bipolar electrogram (EGM) peak-to-peak voltage (Vpp) is currently used to characterise mapped myocardial substrate. However, how interelectrode distance and angle of wavefront incidence affect bipolar, Vpp values, in the current era of multi-electrode mapping is unknown. Objectives To elucidate the effects of tissue and electrode geometry on bipolar Vpp measurements, when mapping healthy versus diseased atrial regions. Methods A bidomain model of human atrial tissue was used to quantify the influence on Vpp values of various electrode configurations in healthy tissue, and tissue containing an unexcitable region. The orientation angle and interelectrode spacing of a surface bipole, and thickness and depth of the unexcitable core were serially varied. Results were validated with data obtained from isolated porcine hearts. Results In healthy tissue, bipolar Vpp values increased with increasing interelectrode spacing and plateaued beyond a spacing of approximately 4 mm. The bipolar Vpp values in healthy tissue were relatively less sensitive to wavefront orientation angle with large interelectrode spacing. In diseased tissue, on the contrary, with increasing interelectrode spacing, bipolar Vpp values increased linearly without a plateau and were more sensitive to orientation angle. The bipolar Vpp values decreased with increasing thickness of the scar, with larger relative decrease in small bipoles than larger ones. Bipolar Vpp values increased with a progressively intramural location of fixed-size scar and became less distinguishable from healthy tissue especially for smaller interelectrode spacings. Conclusions The scalable relationship established for interelectrode distances favour an electric-field-based assessment as opposed to traditional Vpp values as a tool for physiologically relevant measurement for mapping catheters with interelectrode spacing up to 4 mm. This will allow for universal assessment of myocardial health across catheters with varied spacing.

Abstract: International audience; Brugada syndrome and early repolarization syndrome are both classified as J-wave syndromes, with a similar mechanism of arrhythmogenesis and with the same basis for genesis of the characteristic electrocardiographic features. The Brugada syndrome is now considered a conduction disorder based on subtle structural abnormalities in the right ventricular outflow tract. Recent evidence suggests structural substrate in patients with the early repolarization syndrome as well. We propose a unifying mechanism based on these structural abnormalities explaining both arrhythmogenesis and the electrocardiographic changes. In addition, we speculate that, with increasing technical advances in imaging techniques and their spatial resolution, these syndromes will be reclassified as structural heart diseases or cardiomyopathies.

Abstract: International audience; Background: P waves reported in electrocardiology literature uniformly appear smooth. Computer simulation and signal analysis studies have shown much more complex shapes. Objective: We systematically investigated P-wave complexity in normal volunteers using high-fidelity electrocardiographic techniques without filtering. Methods: We recorded 5-min multichannel ECGs in 16 healthy volunteers. Noise and interference were reduced by averaging over 300 beats per recording. In addition, normal P waves were simulated with a realistic model of the human atria. Results: Measured P waves had an average of 4.1 peaks (range 1–10) that were reproducible between recordings. Simulated P waves demonstrated similar complexity, which was related to structural discontinuities in the computer model of the atria. Conclusion: The true shape of the P wave is very irregular and is best seen in ECGs averaged over many beats.

Abstract: International audience; We evaluate in this paper different strategies for the construction of a statistical shape model (SSM) of the left ventricle (LV) to be used for segmentation in cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images. From a large database of LV surfaces obtained throughout the cardiac cycle from 3D echocardiographic (3DE) LV images, different LV shape models were built by varying the considered phase in the cardiac cycle and the registration procedure employed for surface alignment. Principal component analysis was computed to describe the statistical variability of the SSMs, which were then deformed by applying an active shape model (ASM) approach to segment the LV endocardium in CMR images of 45 patients. Segmentation performance was evaluated by comparing LV volumes derived by ASM segmentation with different SSMs and those obtained by manual tracing, considered as a reference. A high correlation (r2 > 0.92) was found in all cases, with better results when using the SSM models comprising more than one frame of the cardiac cycle.

Abstract: Aims The mechanisms underlying persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with atrial fibrosis are poorly understood. The goal of this study was to use patient-derived atrial models to test the hypothesis that AF re-entrant drivers (RDs) persist only in regions with specific fibrosis patterns. Methods and results Twenty patients with persistent AF (PsAF) underwent late gadolinium-enhanced MRI to detect the presence of atrial fibrosis. Segmented images were used to construct personalized 3D models of the fibrotic atria with biophysically realistic atrial electrophysiology. In each model, rapid pacing was applied to induce AF. AF dynamics were analysed and RDs were identified using phase mapping. Fibrosis patterns in RD regions were characterized by computing maps of fibrosis density (FD) and entropy (FE). AF was inducible in 13/20 models and perpetuated by few RDs (2.7 ± 1.5) that were spatially confined (trajectory of phase singularities: 7.6 ± 2.3 mm). Compared with the remaining atrial tissue, regions where RDs persisted had higher FE (IQR: 0.42–0.60 vs. 0.00–0.40, P < 0.05) and FD (IQR: 0.59–0.77 vs. 0.00–0.33, P < 0.05). Machine learning classified RD and non-RD regions based on FD and FE and identified a subset of fibrotic boundary zones present in 13.8 ± 4.9% of atrial tissue where 83.5 ± 2.4% of all RD phase singularities were located. Conclusion Patient-derived models demonstrate that AF in fibrotic substrates is perpetuated by RDs persisting in fibrosis boundary zones characterized by specific regional fibrosis metrics (high FE and FD). These results provide new insights into the mechanisms that sustain PsAF and could pave the way for personalized, MRI-based management of PsAF.

Abstract: Aims P-wave beat-to-beat morphological variability can identify patients prone to paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). To date, no computational study has been carried out to mechanistically explain such finding. The aim of this study was to provide a pathophysiological explanation, by using a computer model of the human atria, of the correlation between P-wave beat-to-beat variability and the risk of AF.Methods and results A physiological variability in the earliest activation site (EAS), on a beat-to-beat basis, was introduced into a computer model of the human atria by randomizing the EAS location. A methodology for generating multi-scale, spatially-correlated regions of heterogeneous conduction was developed. P-wave variability in the presence of such regions was compared with a control case. Simulations were performed with an eikonal model, for the activation map, and with the lead field approach, for P-wave computation. The methodology was eventually compared with a reference monodomain simulation. A total of 60 P-waves were simulated for each sinus node exit location (12 in total), and for each of the 15 patterns of heterogeneous conduction automatically generated by the model. A P-wave beat-to-beat variability was observed in all cases. Variability was significantly increased in presence of heterogeneous slow conducting regions, up to two-fold the variability in the control case. P-wave variability increased non-linearly with respect to the EAS variability and total area of slow conduction. Distribution of the heterogeneous conduction was more effective in increasing the variability when it surrounded the EAS locations and the fast conducting bundles. P-waves simulated by the eikonal approach compared excellently with the monodomain-based ones.Conclusion P-wave variability in patients with paroxysmal AF could be explained by a variability in sinoatrial node exit location in combination with slow conducting regions.

Abstract: International audience; Cardiac conduction disturbances are linked with arrhythmia development. The concept of safety factor (SF) has been derived to describe the robustness of conduction, but the usefulness of this metric has been constrained by several limitations. For example, due to the difficulty of measuring the necessary input variables, SF calculations have only been applied to synthetic data. Moreover, quantitative validation of SF is lacking; specifically, the practical meaning of particular SF values is unclear, aside from the fact that propagation failure (i.e., conduction block) is characterized by SF

Abstract: Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text., Background: Sudden cardiac death because of ventricular fibrillation (VF) is commonly unexplained in younger victims. Detailed electrophysiological mapping in such patients has not been reported. Methods: We evaluated 24 patients (29±13 years) who survived idiopathic VF. First, we used multielectrode body surface recordings to identify the drivers maintaining VF. Then, we analyzed electrograms in the driver regions using endocardial and epicardial catheter mapping during sinus rhythm. Established electrogram criteria were used to identify the presence of structural alterations. Results: VF occurred spontaneously in 3 patients and was induced in 16, whereas VF was noninducible in 5. VF mapping demonstrated reentrant and focal activities (87% versus 13%, respectively) in all. The activities were dominant in one ventricle in 9 patients, whereas they had biventricular distribution in others. During sinus rhythm areas of abnormal electrograms were identified in 15/24 patients (62.5%) revealing localized structural alterations: in the right ventricle in 11, the left ventricle in 1, and both in 3. They covered a limited surface (13±6 cm2) representing 5±3% of the total surface and were recorded predominantly on the epicardium. Seventy-six percent of these areas were colocated with VF drivers (P

Abstract: International audience; Success rates for catheter ablation of persistent atrial fibrillation patients are currently low; however, there is a subset of patients for whom electrical isolation of the pulmonary veins alone is a successful treatment strategy. It is difficult to identify these patients because there are a multitude of factors affecting arrhythmia susceptibility and maintenance, and the individual contributions of these factors are difficult to determine clinically. We hypothesised that the combination of pulmonary vein (PV) electrophysiology and atrial body fibrosis determine driver location and effectiveness of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). We used bilayer biatrial computer models based on patient geometries to investigate the effects of PV properties and atrial fibrosis on arrhythmia inducibility, maintenance mechanisms, and the outcome of PVI. Short PV action potential duration (APD) increased arrhythmia susceptibility, while longer PV APD was found to be protective. Arrhythmia inducibility increased with slower conduction velocity (CV) at the LA/PV junction, but not for cases with homogeneous CV changes or slower CV at the distal PV. Phase singularity (PS) density in the PV region for cases with PV fibrosis was increased. Arrhythmia dynamics depend on both PV properties and fibrosis distribution, varying from meandering rotors to PV reentry (in cases with baseline or long APD), to stable rotors at regions of high fibrosis density. Measurement of fibrosis and PV properties may indicate patient specific susceptibility to AF initiation and maintenance. PV PS density before PVI was higher for cases in which AF terminated or converted to a macroreentry; thus, high PV PS density may indicate likelihood of PVI success.

Abstract: International audience; Mechanical stretch plays a major role in modulating atrial function, being responsible for beat-by-beat responses to changes in chamber preload, enabling a prompt regulation of cardiac function. Mechano-electric coupling (MEC) operates through many mechanisms and has many targets, making it experimentally difficult to isolate causes and effects especially under sinus conditions where effects are more transient and subtle. Therefore, modelling is a powerful tool to help understand the role of MEC with respect to the atrial electromechanical interaction. We propose a cellular-based computational model of the left atrium that includes a strongly coupled MEC component and mitral flow component to account for correct pressure generation in the atrial chamber as a consequence of blood volume and contraction. The method was applied to a healthy porcine left atrium. Results of the strongly coupled simulation show that strains are higher in the areas adjacent to the mitral annulus, the rim of the appendage, around the pulmonary venous trunks and at the location of the Bachmann's bundle, approximately between the mitral annulus and the region where the venous tissue transitions into atrial. These are regions where arrhythmias are likely to originate. The role of stretch-activated channels was very small for sinus rhythm for the single cardiac beat simulation, although tension development was very sensitive to stretch. The method could be applied to investigate potential therapeutic interventions acting on the mechano-electrical properties of the left atrium.

Abstract: International audience; Electrocardiographic mapping (ECGI) detects reentrant drivers (RDs) that perpetuate arrhythmia in persistent AF (PsAF). Patient-specific computational models derived from late gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (LGE-MRI) identify all latent sites in the fibrotic substrate that could potentially sustain RDs, not just those manifested during mapped AF. The objective of this study was to compare RDs from simulations and ECGI (RDsim/RDECGI) and analyze implications for ablation. We considered 12 PsAF patients who underwent RDECGI ablation. For the same cohort, we simulated AF and identified RDsim sites in patient-specific models with geometry and fibrosis distribution from pre-ablation LGE-MRI. RDsim- and RDECGI-harboring regions were compared, and the extent of agreement between macroscopic locations of RDs identified by simulations and ECGI was assessed. Effects of ablating RDECGI/RDsim were analyzed. RDsim were predicted in 28 atrial regions (median [inter-quartile range (IQR)] = 3.0 [1.0; 3.0] per model). ECGI detected 42 RDECGI-harboring regions (4.0 [2.0; 5.0] per patient). The number of regions with RDsim and RDECGI per individual was not significantly correlated (R = 0.46, P = ns). The overall rate of regional agreement was fair (modified Cohen's κ0 statistic = 0.11), as expected, based on the different mechanistic underpinning of RDsim- and RDECGI. nineteen regions were found to harbor both RDsim and RDECGI, suggesting that a subset of clinically observed RDs was fibrosis-mediated. The most frequent source of differences (23/32 regions) between the two modalities was the presence of RDECGI perpetuated by mechanisms other than the fibrotic substrate. In 6/12 patients, there was at least one region where a latent RD was observed in simulations but was not manifested during clinical mapping. Ablation of fibrosis-mediated RDECGI (i.e., targets in regions that also harbored RDsim) trended toward a higher rate of positive response compared to ablation of other RDECGI targets (57 vs. 41%, P = ns). Our analysis suggests that RDs in human PsAF are at least partially fibrosis-mediated. Substrate-based ablation combining simulations with ECGI could improve outcomes.

Abstract: International audience; The mechanisms underlying atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common sustained cardiac rhythm disturbance, remain elusive. Atrial fibrosis plays an important role in the development of AF and rotor dynamics. Both electrical wavelength (WL) and the degree of atrial fibrosis change as AF progresses. However, their combined effect on rotor core location remains unknown. The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of WL change on rotor core location in both fibrotic and non-fibrotic atria. Three patient specific fibrosis distributions (total fibrosis content: 16.6, 22.8, and 19.2%) obtained from clinical imaging data of persistent AF patients were incorporated in a bilayer atrial computational model. Fibrotic effects were modeled as myocyte-fibroblast coupling + conductivity remodeling; structural remodeling; ionic current changes + conductivity remodeling; and combinations of these methods. To change WL, action potential duration (APD) was varied from 120 to 240ms, representing the range of clinically observed AF cycle length, by modifying the inward rectifier potassium current (IK1) conductance between 80 and 140% of the original value. Phase singularities (PSs) were computed to identify rotor core locations. Our results show that IK1 conductance variation resulted in a decrease of APD and WL across the atria. For large WL in the absence of fibrosis, PSs anchored to regions with high APD gradient at the center of the left atrium (LA) anterior wall and near the junctions of the inferior pulmonary veins (PVs) with the LA. Decreasing the WL induced more PSs, whose distribution became less clustered. With fibrosis, PS locations depended on the fibrosis distribution and the fibrosis implementation method. The proportion of PSs in fibrotic areas and along the borders varied with both WL and fibrosis modeling method: for patient one, this was 4.2-14.9% as IK1 varied for the structural remodeling representation, but 12.3-88.4% using the combination of structural remodeling with myocyte-fibroblast coupling. The degree and distribution of fibrosis and the choice of implementation technique had a larger effect on PS locations than the WL variation. Thus, distinguishing the fibrotic mechanisms present in a patient is important for interpreting clinical fibrosis maps to create personalized models.

In this paper, we present a preliminary study of the main features of flow over a stenosed coronary arterial portion, in order to enumerate the different factors affecting the VFFR. We adopt a non-Newtonian flow model and we assume that the two-dimensional (2D) domain is rigid in a first place. In a second place, we consider a simplified weakly coupled FSI model in order to take into account the infinitesimal displacements of the upper wall. A 2D finite element solver was implemented using Freefem++. We computed the VFFR profiles with respect to different lesion parameters and compared the results given by the rigid wall model to those obtained for the elastic wall one.

Abstract: Item does not contain fulltext Aims: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of the activation sequence on voltage amplitudes by evaluating regional voltage differences during a left bundle branch block (LBBB) activation sequence vs. a normal synchronous activation sequence and by evaluating pacing-induced voltage differences. Methods and results: Twenty-one patients and three computer models without scar were studied. Regional voltage amplitudes were evaluated in nine LBBB patients who underwent endocardial electro-anatomic mapping (EAM). Pacing-induced voltage differences were evaluated in 12 patients who underwent epicardial EAM during intrinsic rhythm and right ventricular (RV) pacing. Three computer models customized for LBBB patients were created. Changes in voltage amplitudes after an LBBB (intrinsic), a normal synchronous, an RV pacing, and a left ventricular pacing activation sequence were assessed in the computer models. Unipolar voltage amplitudes in patients were approximately 4.5 mV (4.4-4.7 mV, approximately 33%) lower in the septum when compared with other segments. A normal synchronous activation sequence in the computer models normalized voltage amplitudes in the septum. Pacing-induced differences were larger in electrograms with higher voltage amplitudes during intrinsic rhythm and furthermore larger and more variable at the epicardium [mean absolute difference: 3.6-6.2 mV, 40-53% of intrinsic value; interquartile range (IQR) differences: 53-63% of intrinsic value] compared to the endocardium (mean absolute difference: 3.3-3.8 mV, 28-30% of intrinsic value; IQR differences: 37-40% of intrinsic value). Conclusion: In patients and computer models without scar, lower septal unipolar voltage amplitudes are exclusively associated with an LBBB activation sequence. Pacing substantially affects voltage amplitudes, particularly at the epicardium.
