RESULTS: A computer model of entire human atria with a
gross fiber architecture based on histology and
membrane kinetics based on the Courtemanche et al.
atrial model was developed to simulate paced activation
and simulated AF. Unipolar electrograms were computed
using a current source approximation at 256 sites in
right atrium, to simulate a mapping array. The results
show the following: (1) In a homogeneous and isotropic
tissue, the presence of highly asymmetric electrograms
is rare (<2\%), although there is a marked variability
in amplitude and symmetry. (2) The introduction of
anisotropy increases this variability in symmetry and
amplitude of the, electrograms especially for
propagation across fibers. The percentage of highly
asymmetric electrograms increases to 12\% to 15\% for
anisotropy ratios greater than 3:1. (3) Multiphasic and
fractionated electrograms are rarely seen in the model
with uniform properties but are more common (15\%-17\%)
in a model including regions with abrupt changes in
conductivity. Beat-to-beat variations in the occurrence
of multiphasic signals are possible with fixed anatomic
heterogeneity, due to beat-to-beat variations in the
direction of the wavefront relative to the
heterogeneity. CONCLUSION: Analysis of the amplitude
and symmetry of unipolar atrial electrograms can
provide information about the electrophysiologic
substrate maintaining AF.",
