Background:

Catheter ablation (CA) is a curative therapy for atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (AVRT) caused by accessory pathways (APs), but precise AP localization with conventional mapping can be challenging. While omnipolar technology near-field (OTNF) provides novel frequency-based analysis, its clinical utility for AP ablation remains unproven.

Objective:

We aimed to characterize the spatial relationship between high-frequency areas identified by OTNF-derived peak frequency maps and successful AP ablation sites.

Methods:

This multicenter retrospective study analyzed OTNF data from 33 patients undergoing successful CA for AVRT. Offline peak frequency analysis was performed on acquired open-window mapping data. We measured: (1) the peak frequency (PF) at the successful ablation site, (2) the highest PF in the immediate vicinity, (3) the spatial distance, and (4) the directional displacement between these two points.

Results:

While successful ablation sites were located in areas of high frequency (mean 332 ± 206 Hz), the absolute highest PF was consistently found in the immediate vicinity (mean 435 ± 56 Hz; p < 0.01). Critically, the site of the highest PF was spatially displaced from the successful ablation site by a median distance of 4 mm (IQR: 0-6 mm). Directionally, when viewed from the annulus, the highest frequency site was co-located with the successful site in 21 cases (64%), shifted counter-clockwise in 9 cases (27%), and clockwise in 3 cases (9%).

Conclusion:

High-frequency areas on OTNF maps are consistently located adjacent to, but spatially distinct from, successful AP ablation sites. This quantifiable spatial dissociation represents a novel electrophysiological target that may improve the precision and efficiency of AP catheter ablation.

Frequency-dependent Selection

Frequency-dependent Selection

When the fitness of a trait is influenced by how common it is (i.e., its frequency) relative to different traits within a population, this is referred to as frequency-dependent selection. Frequency-dependent selection may occur between species or within a single species. This type of selection can either be positive—with more common phenotypes having higher fitness—or negative, with rarer phenotypes conferring increased fitness.

What is a Frequency Distribution

What is a Frequency Distribution

A frequency is the number of times a value of the data occurs. The sum of all the frequency values represents the total number of students included in the sample. It is commonly used to group data of quantitative types. Frequency distributions can be displayed in a table, histogram, line graph, dot plot, or pie chart, just to name a few. A histogram is a graphical representation of tabulated frequencies, shown as adjacent rectangles, erected over discrete intervals (bins), with an area equal to...

Mean From a Frequency Distribution

Mean From a Frequency Distribution

Sometimes, data gathered from an experiment on a large sample or population are organized into concise tables. In such cases, the frequency of the quantitative data set is plotted in the form of a table. Or else, the data values are grouped into the quantity’s intervals, which form classes, and their respective frequencies are known. That is, the data values are distributed over different categories or classes. This is known as frequency distribution.
When such a data set is encountered,...

Muscle Stimulation Frequency

Muscle Stimulation Frequency

The contraction strength of muscles is regulated by motor neurons, which modulate the frequency of action potentials dispatched to the motor units based on the body's requirements. This process of varying the muscle stimulation frequency allows muscles to contract with a force that is precisely tailored to the needs of the moment, whether lifting a feather or a heavy box.
Wave summation
At low firing rates, motor neurons induce individual twitch contractions in muscle fibers. These twitches...

Frequency Response of BJT

Frequency Response of BJT

The frequency response of a Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) in a common-emitter configuration is critical to its functionality, especially in applications involving amplification of alternating current (AC) signals. This response can be analyzed through low-frequency and high-frequency equivalent circuits, considering various internal parameters and external conditions.
Low-Frequency Response: At low frequencies, the behavior of the BJT is determined by its DC bias point, which is set by the...

Load-frequency control

Load-frequency control

Load-frequency control (LFC) is vital for maintaining power system stability, ensuring that frequency and power flows remain within acceptable limits during load changes. Turbine-governor control eliminates rotor accelerations and decelerations following load changes. However, a steady-state frequency error persists when the change in the turbine-governor reference setting is zero. In an interconnected power system, each area agrees to export or import a scheduled amount of power through...
