Catheter ablation therapy for persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) typically includes pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) and may include additional ablation lesions that target patient-specific anatomical, electrical, or structural features. Clinical centers employ different ablation strategies, which use imaging data together with electroanatomic mapping data, depending on data availability. The aim of this study was to compare ablation techniques across a virtual cohort of AF patients. We constructed 20 paroxysmal and 30 persistent AF patient-specific left atrial (LA) bilayer models incorporating fibrotic remodeling from late-gadolinium enhancement (LGE) MRI scans. AF was simulated and post-processed using phase mapping to determine electrical driver locations over 15 s. Six different ablation approaches were tested: (i) PVI alone, modeled as wide-area encirclement of the pulmonary veins; PVI together with: (ii) roof and inferior lines to model posterior wall box isolation; (iii) isolating the largest fibrotic area (identified by LGE-MRI); (iv) isolating all fibrotic areas; (v) isolating the largest driver hotspot region [identified as high simulated phase singularity (PS) density]; and (vi) isolating all driver hotspot regions. Ablation efficacy was assessed to predict optimal ablation therapies for individual patients. We subsequently trained a random forest classifier to predict ablation response using (a) imaging metrics alone, (b) imaging and electrical metrics, or (c) imaging, electrical, and ablation lesion metrics. The optimal ablation approach resulting in termination, or if not possible atrial tachycardia (AT), varied among the virtual patient cohort: (i) 20% PVI alone, (ii) 6% box ablation, (iii) 2% largest fibrosis area, (iv) 4% all fibrosis areas, (v) 2% largest driver hotspot, and (vi) 46% all driver hotspots. Around 20% of cases remained in AF for all ablation strategies. The addition of patient-specific and ablation pattern specific lesion metrics to the trained random forest classifier improved predictive capability from an accuracy of 0.73 to 0.83. The trained classifier results demonstrate that the surface areas of pre-ablation driver regions and of fibrotic tissue not isolated by the proposed ablation strategy are both important for predicting ablation outcome. Overall, our study demonstrates the need to select the optimal ablation strategy for each patient. It suggests that both patient-specific fibrosis properties and driver locations are important for planning ablation approaches, and the distribution of lesions is important for predicting an acute response.

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.

Medicine ,Science - Abstract
BackgroundVirtual electrodes from structural/conductivity heterogeneities are known to elicit wavefront propagation, upon field-stimulation, and are thought to be important for defibrillation. In this work we investigate how the constitutive and geometrical parameters associated with such anatomical heterogeneities, represented by endo/epicardial surfaces and intramural surfaces in the form of blood-vessels, affect the virtual electrode patterns produced.Methods and resultsThe steady-state bidomain model is used to obtain, using analytical and numerical methods, the virtual electrode patterns created around idealized endocardial trabeculations and blood-vessels. The virtual electrode pattern around blood-vessels is shown to be composed of two dominant effects; current traversing the vessel surface and conductivity heterogeneity from the fibre-architecture. The relative magnitudes of these two effects explain the swapping of the virtual electrode polarity observed, as a function of the vessel radius, and aid in the understanding of the virtual electrode patterns predicted by numerical bidomain modelling. The relatively high conductivity of blood, compared to myocardium, is shown to cause stronger depolarizations in the endocardial trabeculae grooves than the protrusions.ConclusionsThe results provide additional quantitative understanding of the virtual electrodes produced by small-scale ventricular anatomy, and highlight the importance of faithfully representing the physiology and the physics in the context of computational modelling of field stimulation.

Medicine ,Science - Abstract
AimThe human right atrium and sinoatrial node (SAN) anatomy is complex. Optical mapping experiments suggest that the SAN is functionally insulated from atrial tissue except at discrete SAN-atrial electrical junctions called SAN exit pathways, SEPs. Additionally, histological imaging suggests the presence of a secondary pacemaker close to the SAN. We hypothesise that a) an insulating border-SEP anatomical configuration is related to SAN arrhythmia; and b) a secondary pacemaker, the paranodal area, is an alternate pacemaker but accentuates tachycardia. A 3D electro-anatomical computational model was used to test these hypotheses.MethodsA detailed 3D human SAN electro-anatomical mathematical model was developed based on our previous anatomical reconstruction. Electrical activity was simulated using tissue specific variants of the Fenton-Karma action potential equations. Simulation experiments were designed to deploy this complex electro-anatomical system to assess the roles of border-SEPs and paranodal area by mimicking experimentally observed SAN arrhythmia. Robust and accurate numerical algorithms were implemented for solving the mono domain reaction-diffusion equation implicitly, calculating 3D filament traces, and computing dominant frequency among other quantitative measurements.ResultsA centre to periphery gradient of increasing diffusion was sufficient to permit initiation of pacemaking at the centre of the 3D SAN. Re-entry within the SAN, micro re-entry, was possible by imposing significant SAN fibrosis in the presence of the insulating border. SEPs promoted the micro re-entry to generate more complex SAN-atrial tachycardia. Simulation of macro re-entry, i.e. re-entry around the SAN, was possible by inclusion of atrial fibrosis in the presence of the insulating border. The border shielded the SAN from atrial tachycardia. However, SAN micro-structure intercellular gap junctional coupling and the paranodal area contributed to prolonged atrial fibrillation. Finally, the micro-structure was found to be sufficient to explain shifts of leading pacemaker site location.ConclusionsThe simulations establish a relationship between anatomy and SAN electrical function. Microstructure, in the form of intercellular gap junction coupling, was found to regulate SAN function and arrhythmia.

Structural differences between ventricular regions may not be the sole determinant of local ventricular fibrillation (VF) dynamics and molecular remodeling may play a role.To define regional ion channel expression in myopathic hearts compared to normal hearts, and correlate expression to regional VF dynamics.High throughput real-time RT-PCR was used to quantify the expression patterns of 84 ion-channel, calcium cycling, connexin and related gene transcripts from sites in the LV, septum, and RV in 8 patients undergoing transplantation. An additional eight non-diseased donor human hearts served as controls. To relate local ion channel expression change to VF dynamics localized VF mapping was performed on the explanted myopathic hearts right adjacent to sampled regions. Compared to non-diseased ventricles, significant differences (p

Aims Electroanatomical maps using automated conduction velocity (CV) algorithms are now being calculated using two-dimensional (2D) mapping tools. We studied the accuracy of mapping surface 2D CV, compared to the three-dimensional (3D) vectors, and the influence of mapping resolution in non-scarred animal and human heart models. Methods and results Two models were used: a healthy porcine Langendorff model with transmural needle electrodes and a computer stimulation model of the ventricles built from an MRI-segmented, excised human heart. Local activation times (LATs) within the 3D volume of the mesh were used to calculate true 3D CVs (direction and velocity) for different pixel resolutions ranging between 500 μm and 4 mm (3D CVs). CV was also calculated for endocardial surface-only LATs (2D CV). In the experimental model, surface (2D) CV was faster on the epicardium (0.509 m/s) compared to the endocardium (0.262 m/s). In stimulation models, 2D CV significantly exceeded 3D CVs across all mapping resolutions and increased as resolution decreased. Three-dimensional and 2D left ventricle CV at 500 μm resolution increased from 429.2 ± 189.3 to 527.7 ± 253.8 mm/s (P < 0.01), respectively, with modest correlation (R = 0.64). Decreasing the resolution to 4 mm significantly increased 2D CV and weakened the correlation (R = 0.46). The majority of CV vectors were not parallel ( Conclusion Ventricular CV is overestimated when using 2D LAT-based CV calculation of the mapping surface and significantly compounded by mapping resolution. Three-dimensional electric field-based approaches are needed in mapping true CV on mapping surfaces.

Background: Conventional mapping of focal ventricular arrhythmias relies on unipolar electrogram characteristics and early local activation times. Deep intramural foci are common and associated with high recurrence rates following catheter-based radiofrequency ablation. We assessed the accuracy of unipolar morphological patterns and mapping surface indices to predict the site and depth of ventricular arrhythmogenic focal sources. Methods: An experimental beating-heart model used Langendorff-perfused, healthy swine hearts. A custom 56-pole electrode array catheter was positioned on the left ventricle. A plunge needle was placed perpendicular in the center of the grid to simulate arrhythmic foci at variable depths. Unipolar electrograms and local activation times were generated. Simulation models from 2 human hearts were also included with grids positioned simultaneously on the endocardium-epicardium from multiple left ventricular, septal, and outflow tract sites. Results: A unipolar Q or QS complex lacks specificity for superficial arrhythmic foci, as this morphology pattern occupies a large surface area and is the predominant pattern as intramural depth increases without developing a R component. There is progressive displacement from the arrhythmic focus to the surface exit as intramural focus depth increases. A shorter total activation time over the overlying electrode array, larger surface area within initial 20 ms activation, and a dual surface breakout pattern all indicate a deep focus. Conclusions: Displacement from the focal intramural origin to the exit site on the mapping surface could lead to erroneous lesion delivery strategies. Traditional unipolar electrogram features lack specificity to predict the intramural arrhythmic source; however, novel endocardial-epicardial mapping surface indices can be used to determine the depth of arrhythmic foci.

Cardiac fiber direction is an important factor determining the propagation of electrical activity, as well as the development of mechanical force. In this article, we imaged the ventricles of several species with special attention to the intraventricular septum to determine the functional consequences of septal fiber organization. First, we identified a dual-layer organization of the fiber orientation in the intraventricular septum of ex vivo sheep hearts using diffusion tensor imaging at high field MRI. To expand the scope of the results, we investigated the presence of a similar fiber organization in five mammalian species (rat, canine, pig, sheep, and human) and highlighted the continuity of the layer with the moderator band in large mammalian species. We implemented the measured septal fiber fields in three-dimensional electromechanical computer models to assess the impact of the fiber orientation. The downward fibers produced a diamond activation pattern superficially in the right ventricle. Electromechanically, there was very little change in pressure volume loops although the stress distribution was altered. In conclusion, we clarified that the right ventricular septum has a downwardly directed superficial layer in larger mammalian species, which can have modest effects on stress distribution.

Background: Current ablation therapy for atrial fibrillation is suboptimal, and long-term response is challenging to predict. Clinical trials identify bedside properties that provide only modest prediction of long-term response in populations, while patient-specific models in small cohorts primarily explain acute response to ablation. We aimed to predict long-term atrial fibrillation recurrence after ablation in large cohorts, by using machine learning to complement biophysical simulations by encoding more interindividual variability. Methods: Patient-specific models were constructed for 100 atrial fibrillation patients (43 paroxysmal, 41 persistent, and 16 long-standing persistent), undergoing first ablation. Patients were followed for 1 year using ambulatory ECG monitoring. Each patient-specific biophysical model combined differing fibrosis patterns, fiber orientation maps, electrical properties, and ablation patterns to capture uncertainty in atrial properties and to test the ability of the tissue to sustain fibrillation. These simulation stress tests of different model variants were postprocessed to calculate atrial fibrillation simulation metrics. Machine learning classifiers were trained to predict atrial fibrillation recurrence using features from the patient history, imaging, and atrial fibrillation simulation metrics. Results: We performed 1100 atrial fibrillation ablation simulations across 100 patient-specific models. Models based on simulation stress tests alone showed a maximum accuracy of 0.63 for predicting long-term fibrillation recurrence. Classifiers trained to history, imaging, and simulation stress tests (average 10-fold cross-validation area under the curve, 0.85±0.09; recall, 0.80±0.13; precision, 0.74±0.13) outperformed those trained to history and imaging (area under the curve, 0.66±0.17) or history alone (area under the curve, 0.61±0.14). Conclusion: A novel computational pipeline accurately predicted long-term atrial fibrillation recurrence in individual patients by combining outcome data with patient-specific acute simulation response. This technique could help to personalize selection for atrial fibrillation ablation.

Reliable patient-specific ventricular repolarization times (RTs) can identify regions of functional block or afterdepolarizations, indicating arrhythmogenic cardiac tissue and the risk of sudden cardiac death. Unipolar electrograms (UEs) record electric potentials, and the Wyatt method has been shown to be accurate for estimating RT from a UE. High-pass filtering is an important step in processing UEs, however, it is known to distort the T-wave phase of the UE, which may compromise the accuracy of the Wyatt method. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of high-pass filtering, and improve RT estimates derived from filtered UEs. We first generated a comprehensive set of UEs, corresponding to early and late activation and repolarization, that were then high-pass filtered with settings that mimicked the CARTO filter. We trained a deep neural network (DNN) to output a probabilistic estimation of RT and a measure of confidence, using the filtered synthetic UEs and their true RTs. Unfiltered ex-vivo human UEs were also filtered and the trained DNN used to estimate RT. Even a modest 2 Hz high-pass filter imposes a significant error on RT estimation using the Wyatt method. The DNN outperformed the Wyatt method in 62.75% of cases, and produced a significantly lower absolute error (p=8.99E-13), with a median of 16.91 ms, on 102 ex-vivo UEs. We also applied the DNN to patient UEs from CARTO, from which an RT map was computed. In conclusion, DNNs trained on synthetic UEs improve the RT estimation from filtered UEs, which leads to more reliable repolarization maps that help to identify patient-specific repolarization abnormalities.

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.

To show how atrial fibrillation rotor activity on the heart surface manifests as phase on the torso, fibrillation was induced on a geometrically accurate computer model of the human atria. The Hilbert transform, time embedding, and filament detection were compared. Electrical activity on the epicardium was used to compute potentials on different surfaces from the atria to the torso. The Hilbert transform produces erroneous phase when pacing for longer than the action potential duration. The number of phase singularities, frequency content, and the dominant frequency decreased with distance from the heart, except for the convex hull.

International audience; Atrial fibrosis is known to be a factor in the perpetu ation of atrial arrhythmia. Despite the thinness of atrial tissue, the fibrosis distribution may not be homogeneous through the entire thickness of the atria. This study aims to elucidate the respective influences of a transmural and a non-transmural distribution of fibrosis, described as a slow conduction zone, on the perpetuation of an arrhythmic episode, compared to a control situation. We used a bilayer monodomain representation of the atria that included transmural heterogeneities of fibre organisation. This model allowed long simulations for a sustainable computational load. We observed that when the fibrosis was transmural, the centre of the rotor was anchored in the slow conduction zone and was stable during a 10 seconds simulation, whereas the other simulations showed meandering rotors that disappeared after a few seconds. This study provided insight into the influence of transmural fibrosis on atrial arrhythmia perpetuation. In our model framework, only a transmural fibrosis distribution had a stabilizing effect on reentrant circuits. The bilayer model proved to be a good trade-off between accuracy and speed for observing the influence of transmural heterogeneities on atrial arrhythmia over long periods.

Background Atrial action potential duration (APD) has been shown to decrease with increasing distance from the sinoatrial node in several species, including humans. This gradient has been postulated to be cardioprotective by reducing repolarization gradients. Objectives This study tests the effect of the APD gradient on reentry initiation and characteristics. Methods This study used a geometrically accurate atrial computer model to examine arrhythmogenic consequences of an APD gradient on reentry initiation by ectopic beats applied at several locations. As well, dominant frequency maps of any ensuing reentries were analyzed to determine how APD gradients affected rotor behaviour. Results When the APD gradient was increased, anatomic reentry that used the coronary sinus as a critical pathway was prevented, but initiation of functional reentry was unaffected. If a rotor did form, APD gradients led to more disorganized behaviour. For rotors circulating around the pulmonary veins, discrete interatrial coupling accounted for left atrium–right atrium frequency gradients, irrespective of an APD gradient. Conclusions Gradients are protective against anatomic reentry but also increase the complexity of arrhythmias that arise.

International audience; We introduce a framework for the statistical characterization of heart remodeling from both shape and dynamics of the left ventricle. Shape was characterized by thickness and radius maps, unfolded in a two-dimensional dense Bull's eye. Motion was represented as a mixture of affine transformations in an anatomical space of coordinates. Using this representation, a population can be projected (after defining spa-tiotemporal correspondences) to an atlas space built for a given reference population-here, healthy subjects using a classic PCA approach-yielding a joint model of healthy shape and motion statistics. The reconstruction error on shape and motion can then be exploited to quantify remodeling abnormalities. We demonstrate these concepts on 48 healthy subjects and 62 patients with infarct (29 with one year follow-up) imaged with 3D echocardiography, analyzing a total of 139 sequences.

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.

International audience; In this work, we present an optimal control formulation for the bidomain model in order to estimate maximal conductances parameters in the physiological ionic model. We consider a general Hodgkin-Huxley formalism to describe the ionic exchanges at the microcopic level. We consider the parameters as control variables to minimize the mismatch between the measured and the computed potentials under the constraint of the bidomain system. The solution of the optimization problem is based on a gradient descent method, where the gradient is obtained by solving an adjoint problem. We show through some numerical examples the capability of this approach to estimate the values of sodium, calcium and potassium ion channels conductances in the Luo Rudy phase I model.
