A compact matrix model for atrial electrograms for tissue conductivity estimation

Finding the hidden parameters of the cardiac electrophysiological model would help to gain more insight on the mechanisms underlying atrial fibrillation, and subsequently, facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of the disease in later stages. In this work, we aim to estimate tissue conductivity from recorded electrograms as an indication of...

Cardiac tissue conductivity estimation using confirmatory factor analysis

Impaired electrical conduction has been shown to play an important role in the development of heart rhythm disorders. Being able to determine the conductivity is important to localize the arrhythmogenic substrate that causes abnormalities in atrial tissue. In this work, we present an algorithm to estimate the conductivity from epicardial...

Joint cardiac tissue conductivity and activation time estimation using confirmatory factor analysis

Mathematical models of the electrophysiology of cardiac tissue play an important role when studying heart rhythm disorders like atrial fibrillation. Model parameters such as conductivity, activation time, and anisotropy ratio are useful parameters to determine the arrhythmogenic substrate that causes abnormalities in the atrial tissue....
