Description
Nobunari Tomura leads a team mapping the faulty electrical tissue that keeps a chaotic heart rhythm going in 47 patients with lasting atrial fibrillation. A dense mapping system recorded signals from both upper heart chambers before treatment, yielding more than 48,000 points. The team measured each point for its dominant rate and regularity, then compared spots where waves spread from one focus or spun in circles.
Both kinds of suspect spots showed higher rate shifts and regularity than quiet tissue. Left chamber values topped right chamber ones, with the roof highest of all. Repeated focal spots scored higher still, while much repeated spinning spots gave a mixed picture. Tomura and the team say the pairing of mapping and spectral checks may clarify how this rhythm sustains itself.
