“Dimensional Array Design of High Density Cardiac Mapping"

Although over 6 million people in the U.S. suffer from atrial fibrillation (AF), a condition associated with significant morbidity and mortality, including stroke and heart failure, there is currently no widely accepted method for electrically mapping the human heart in AF, a critical step in diagnosing and identifying its source. A prior collaboration has resulted in a high-density stretchable multielectrode design called elastrode. The purpose of Arizbel’s research is to transform a 2-dimensional design into a 3-dimensional design that can be deployed thoracoscopically or via sternal access to the heart’s outer surface.
