Implementation of an epicardial implantable MEMS sensor for continuous and real-time postoperative assessment of left ventricular activity in adult minipigs over a short- and long-term period

The sensing of left ventricular (LV) activity is fundamental in the diagnosis and monitoring of cardiovascular health in high-risk patients after cardiac surgery to achieve better short- and long-term outcome. Conventional approaches rely on noninvasive me ...

Experimental study of atrial fibrillation cycle length during rapid atrial septal pacing

Jean-Marc Vesin, Adrian Luca, Sasan Yazdani

Computer model-based simulations have shown that rapid stimulation at 60-100% of atrial fibrillation cycle length (AFCL) from a ring of electrodes located around the septum may induce local capture in both atria for most AF dynamics. The present study aims ...

Correlation Dimension as a Measure of the Atrial Fibrillation Capture during Atrial Septal Pacing

Jean-Marc Vesin, Adrian Luca

In the present model-based study, the correlation dimension (D2) was used as a measure of the effectiveness of atrial septal pacing during atrial fibrillation (AF). From ongoing simulated atrial fibrillation, instantaneous transmembrane potential maps were ...

Atrial septal pacing for the termination of atrial fibrillation: study in a biophysical model of human atria

Jean-Marc Vesin, Laurent Renaud Uldry, Lukas Kappenberger

Aims While successful termination by pacing of organized atrial tachycardias has been observed in patients, single site rapid pacing has not yet led to conclusive results for the termination of atrial fibrillation (AF). The purpose of this study was to eva ...

Kinetics of Atrial Repolarization Alternans in a Free-Behaving Ovine Model

Jean-Marc Vesin, Florian Jousset, Etienne Pruvot

Kinetics of Atrial Repolarization Alternans. Introduction: Repolarization alternans (Re-ALT), a beat-to-beat alternation in action potential repolarization, promotes dispersion of repolarization, wavebreaks, and reentry. Recently, Re-ALT has been shown to ...

Study of the effect of rapid pacing of atrial fibrillation on the non-paced atrium

Jean-Marc Vesin, Laurent Renaud Uldry, Lukas Kappenberger

Purpose: Experimental studies showed that local capture of atrial fibrillation (AF) by rapid pacing was possible in humans. However, contradictory observations were reported on its effect at distant atrial sites. The present model-based study investigated ...

Optimizing Local Capture of Atrial Fibrillation by Rapid Pacing: Study of the Influence of Tissue Dynamics

Jean-Marc Vesin, Vincent Jacquemet, Laurent Renaud Uldry, Lukas Kappenberger

While successful termination by pacing of organized atrial tachycardias has been observed in patients, rapid pacing of AF can induce a local capture of the atrial tissue but in general no termination. The purpose of this study was to perform a systematic e ...

Optimization of antitachycardia pacing protocols applied to atrial fibrillation: insights from a biophysical model

Jean-Marc Vesin, Laurent Renaud Uldry, Lukas Kappenberger

We present a model-based systematic study of antitachycardia pacing protocols applied to atrial fibrillation, focusing on the ability to achieve and maintain capture during pacing, as a function of both pacing site and period. We observed that pacing sites ...
