Reverse Prediction of Ion Channel Remodeling in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Utilizing Monophasic Action Potential and Mathematical Modeling

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Atrial Fibrillation
Interventions
Device: Monophasic action potential(MAP) catheter
Registration Number
NCT02414815
Lead Sponsor
Yonsei University
Brief Summary

Atrial fibrillation(AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia in humans. The loss of rate-dependent action potential duration(APD) adaptation is one of the characteristics of atrial fibrillation, but detailed understanding of mechanism is limited. Thus, we propose to utilize the monophasic action potential recording data from human patients in three groups, control, paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation, and apply reverse engineering method to quantify the extent of electrical remodeling of ionic channel parameters using a mathematical model of atrial cell. Our approach will be useful in developing drug targets for ion channels in atrial fibrillation patients.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Recurrence of AFOne year after the last enrollment

The investigators will acquire monophasic action potential from patient's atrium. Then, we will estimate cardiac ion current status of the patients by reverse engineering and computer simulation. The patients will be followed up longer than 12 months based on 2012 ACC/AHA/ESC guidelines. Primary outcomes of the study are AF recurrence and antiarrhythmic drug sensitivity. Those data will be counted and compared with the patient's own ion current status deducted by simulation study with monophasic action potentials.
