A new computer system rapidly measures and analyzes monophasic action potentials (MAPs) in vivo. This accurate tool aids in understanding arrhythmia initiation by precisely measuring activation time and action potential duration (APD).

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Physiology
  • Computational Biology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Accurate measurement of cardiac electrophysiology, specifically monophasic action potentials (MAPs), is crucial for understanding heart rhythm and arrhythmias.
  • Existing methods for analyzing MAPs can be time-consuming and susceptible to artifacts, limiting their utility in rapid physiological studies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a computer system for rapid and accurate in vivo measurement and analysis of MAPs.
  • To improve the detection of activation time and action potential duration (APD) from MAP recordings, even in the presence of artifacts or premature beats.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a computer system for digitizing and analyzing MAPs recorded from canine epicardium at 1 kHz.
  • Implemented algorithms for detecting activation time using a sliding window and positive dV/dT threshold.

  • Introduced tangent (APDtan) and standard (APD50, APD90) algorithms for determining action potential duration.

    • Main Results:

    • The system demonstrated high accuracy in activation time measurements, with an R2 value of 0.99968 during fixed-rate pacing.
    • Action potential duration measurements showed low variability, with coefficients of variation of 1.25% (APD50), 1.65% (APD90), and 1.14% (APDtan).
    • The APDtan algorithm successfully estimated APD in the presence of premature beats where APD90 was not measurable.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed computer system provides a rapid, accurate, and robust method for analyzing MAPs in vivo.
    • This tool is valuable for basic physiological research, particularly in the study of arrhythmia initiation and mechanisms.
    • The validated algorithms enhance the reliability of electrophysiological data acquisition and analysis.
