A RAPID CYCLE LENGTH VARIABILITY DETECTION TECHNIQUE OF ATRIAL ELECTROGRAMS IN ATRIAL FIBRILLATION

Lee, Seungyup

Abstract Details

2008, Master of Sciences (Engineering), Case Western Reserve University, Biomedical Engineering.
The Cycle Length Variability Detection (CLVD) analysis using power envelop algorithm was developed to rapidly characterize the cycle length (CL) of atrial electrograms (AEGs) on real time and off line. The objective was that the CLVD analysis will be able to detect individual CLs correctly regardless of changing morphology, amplitude, and/or CL of AEGs. The 4-second segments of each bipolar AEG were subjected to 1) direct, 2) morphology, and 3) power envelop methods using a LabView algorithm for CLVD analysis. The CLVD analysis using the power envelope method of three developed methods in this study provided to be best method. It is a powerful and useful tool for determining regular and irregular patterns of atrial activation in both atria. This new method could lead to a new way of accurately and rapidly analyzing AF in real time, and aid in understanding mechanism(s) and increasing the efficacy of treatment in patients.
