Abstract

We propose an integrated modelling and clinical protocol for characterising local tissue properties in the left atrium and validate the resulting personalised models in four patient cases. We generate a personalised model from a set of measured local activation times (LATs) obtained by pacing the left atrium in the proximity of the coronary sinus with a programmed pacing protocol. We validate the model by evaluating the correlation between a set of measured LATS, obtained by pacing on the high right atrium and a set numerically computed LATs. We then estimate if the tissue is capable of sustaining an atrial fibrillation or a tachycardia by triggering a spiral wave on the computational model and then analysing the activation frequencies and the time elapsed until the termination of the aberrant activation.
