Introduction: Minimal data exist on the Advisor HD Grid (HDG) catheter and the Precision electroanatomic mapping (EAM) system for ventricular arrhythmia (VA) procedures. Using the HDG catheter, the EAM uses the high-density (HD) wave mapping and best duplicate software to compare the maximum peak-to-peak bipolar voltages within a small zone independent of wavefront direction and catheter orientation. This study aimed to summarize the procedural experience for VAs using the HDG catheter.

Inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST) is a rare type of arrhythmia that is currently difficult to treat successfully. The effects of laser catheter applications aimed at the sinus nodal area were tested experimentally and the technique was used for the treatment of IST. Continuous-wave, mapping-guided 1,064 nm neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet laser applications at 15 W (9.

Background: Gastric slow wave dysrhythmias are accompanied by deviations in frequency, velocity, and extracellular amplitude, but the inherent association between these parameters in normal activity still requires clarification. This study quantified these associations using a joint experimental-theoretical approach.

Methods: Gastric pacing was conducted in pigs with simultaneous high-resolution slow wave mapping (32-256 electrodes; 4-7.

We have produced high transmission sub-wavelength tapered optical fibers for the purpose of whispering gallery mode coupling in fused silica microcavities at 780 nm. A detailed analysis of the fiber transmittance evolution during tapering is demonstrated to reflect precisely the mode coupling and cutoff in the fiber. This allows to control the final size, the number of guided modes and their effective index.
