Non-invasive assessment of direction of right atrial activation during atrial fibrillation using correlation function analysis.

Abstract
ECGs were recorded from three electrodes attached at

the corners of an equilateral triangle positioned around

the location of electrode V1. The atrial signal between

QRST complexes was subjected to correlation function

analysis to reveal differences in activation times between

the electrode sites. The time differences found were used

to calculate the direction of activation across the body

surface. Twenty-three subjects were studied during sinus

rhythm (SR), intraoperatively confirmed typical and reverse

typical atrial flutter, or during paroxysmal or permanent

atrial fibrillation (AF).

Subjects studied during SR and patients with... (More)

rhythm (SR), intraoperatively confirmed typical and reverse

typical atrial flutter, or during paroxysmal or permanent

atrial fibrillation (AF).

Subjects studied during SR and patients with typical

atrial flutter exhibited a uniform direction of activation,

with the main vector pointing downwards. The propagation

of atrial activation during permanent AF did not show

a consistent direction, while patients with paroxysmal AF

exhibited more uniform activation vectors, corresponding

to the direction observed in patients with atrial flutter. (Less)
