- This study was partially funded by the NIHR Leicester Cardiovascular Biomedical Research Unit platform grant (£16M). In atrial fibrillation the activation of the atria is (i) fast, (ii) out of sequence and (iii) ‘fractionated’. These can be assessed by measuring (i) frequency, (ii) phase and (iii) entropy. This work describes a platform that is now in use by electrophysiologists performing mapping and ablation of areas responsible for the abnormal activation of the atria in Atrial Fibrillation using these measurements. The system is interactive and can be used in quasi-real-time (results are available in ca. 10 minutes with current technology).
