Quantifying a spectrum of clinical response in atrial tachyarrhythmias using spatiotemporal synchronization of electrograms

Prasanth Ganesan et al.

Summary: This study aims to determine whether there are pathophysiological signatures associated with the clinical spectrum of atrial tachyarrhythmias. The results show that the size of spatial regions showing repetitive synchronized electrogram shapes decreases from patients with atrial tachycardia to atrial fibrillation patients who respond to ablation, to atrial fibrillation patients without acute response. These findings provide a platform for comparing mapping tools and mechanisms among different atrial fibrillation patient groups.

The use of remote monitoring of cardiac implantable devices during the COVID-19 pandemic: an EHRA physician survey

Stefan Simovic et al.

Summary: This survey aimed to assess the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on remote monitoring (RM) of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) among European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) members. The results showed a significant increase in the use of RM for patients with pacemakers (PMs) and implantable loop recorders (ILRs) during the pandemic, while the utilization of RM for cardiac resynchronization therapy-pacemaker (CRT-P) devices showed a tendency to increase. There was no significant change in the use of RM for implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) and CRT-defibrillator (CRT-D) devices. The frequency of in-office visits decreased significantly during the pandemic. The study suggests that the crisis caused by COVID-19 has led to an increase in the use of RM for CIEDs.

Accuracy of Physicians Interpreting Photoplethysmography and Electrocardiography Tracings to Detect Atrial Fibrillation: INTERPRET-AF

Henri Gruwez et al.

Summary: Physicians can detect atrial fibrillation (AF) on photoplethysmography (PPG) waveforms with a sensitivity of 88.8% and specificity of 86.3%. Additional presentation of the tachogram plus Poincare plot significantly increases sensitivity to 95.5% and specificity to 92.5%. Physicians can detect AF on single-lead ECG with a sensitivity of 91.2% and specificity of 93.9%, but full 12-lead ECG does not significantly improve diagnostic accuracy. There is no significant difference in performance between PPG waveform plus tachogram and Poincare compared to single-lead ECG in detecting or excluding AF.

Summary: In a virtual patient cohort, models with short maximum action potential durations were associated with sustained activation patterns, and regions with low maximum conduction velocity were associated with tethering of phase singularities. By using a support vector machine trained on local conduction velocity and action potential duration, regions of tissue that tether phase singularities could be identified with 91% accuracy, and this accuracy increased to 95% when also trained on surface area.

Summary: This study introduces a new method of using atlases of activation and VCGs to identify and relate the features of these high-dimensional signals, capturing the major sources of variation between patients, and potentially aiding in identifying new clinical indices of arrhythmia risk or therapeutic outcome. The atlases provided significant dimensionality reduction, accurately reconstructing patient VCGs with fewer than 10 modes, and showed less errors compared to more computationally expensive methods in estimating patient-specific activation maps.
