Abstract

One of the main difficulties in using body surface potential mapping (BSPM) techniques is the need of complicated multi-channel measuring system. In this paper practical portable ECG mapping system is introduced. The system consists of a notebook computer and a data acquisition system box connected to the computer by fast IEEE 1284 parallel interface working in ECP mode. Concept of the device enables to extend the basic 134-channel high-resolution multi-channel ECG amplifying unit up to 256 channels. Application software includes measurement and real time monitoring of ECG signals, computation and display of several types of body surface potential maps. System can be connected to hospital information networks and supply them with measured ECG data for advanced processing or central archiving.

Case report: Symptoms of advanced heart failure--a case for radiofrequency catheter ablation?

A sixty-year-old man with previous history of coronary artery disease was admitted due to progressive worsening of dyspnoea at exertion (NYHA III functional class) and no angina. Coronary angiography confirmed occlusion of the right coronary artery which was naturally bypassed by homocollaterals with TIMI 3 flow to the peripheral branches. The lesion was not technically suitable for percutaneous angioplasty. The left coronary artery was without stenosis. On echocardiography, both the left ventricle and the left atrium were dilated and hemodynamically significant mitral regurgitation was present. Surface ECG showed a left bundle branch block with repeated runs of monomorphic ventricular ectopic beats (PVC). Radiofrequency catheter ablation of the focus in the posteroseptal region of the left ventricle underneath the mitral valve was performed using electroanatomical mapping system. After the procedure, mitral regurgitation decreased and reverse remodeling of the left ventricle and the left atrium occurred with concomitant significant clinical improvement of the patient. The authors discuss several treatment strategies: mitral valve repair surgery combined with revascularization, implantation of a biventricular ICD system or elimination of the focus of monomorphic VT runs by radiofrequency catheter ablation as a possible causal approach in the treatment of PVC-induced cardiomyopathy.
