    BUNDLE BRANCH BLOCKS SIMULATIONS IN VENTRICULAR MODEL WITH REALISTIC GEOMETRY AND CONDUCTION SYSTEM

    The goal of the study was to design a model of cardiac ventricles with realistic geometry that enables simulation of the ventricular activation with normal conduction system functions, as well as with bundle branch blocks. In ventricles, electrical activation propagates from the His bundle to the left and right bundle branches and continues to the fascicles and branching fibers of the Purkinje system. The role of these parts of the conduction system is to lead the activation rapidly and synchronously to the left and right ventricle. The velocity of propagation in the conduction system is several times higher than in the surrounding ventricular myocardium. If the conduction system works normally, QRS duration representing the total activation time of the ventricles lies in the physiological range of about 80 to 120 ms but it is more than 120 ms in the case of bundle branch blocks. In our study, the realistic geometry of the ventricles was constructed on the base of a patient CT scan, defining epicardial and endocardial surfaces. The first part of the conduction system (fast-conducting bundle branches, fascicles in the left ventricle and initial parts of the Purkinje fibers) was modeled as polyline pathways isolated from the surrounding ventricular tissue. The remaining part of the Purkinje system was modeled as an endocardial layer with higher conduction velocity. The propagation of the electrical activation in the ventricular model was modeled using reaction-diffusion (RD) equations, except for the first part of the conduction system, where the activation times were evaluated algebraically with respect to predefined velocity of propagation and estimated distance between the His bundle and particular entry point to the layer with higher conduction velocity. Propagation of activation in cardiac ventricles was numerically solved in Comsol Multiphysics environment. Several configurations of the first part of the conduction system with different number of polyline pathways and entry points were proposed and tested to achieve realistic activation propagation. For the model with 9 starting points, realistic total activation time (TAT) of the whole ventricles of about 108 ms was obtained for the model with normal conduction system, and realistic TAT of 126 ms and 149 ms were obtained for the right and left bundle branch block (RBBB, LBBB), respectively. Very similar TAT was found also for the model with 7 starting points, but unrealistically long TAT was obtained in LBBB simulation for the model with only 5 starting points

    In this simulation study the accuracy of the inverse localization of an ischemic lesion was investigated if a patientadjusted general torso model and four different approximate heart models were used. Surface ECGs were simulated by a normal heart and by hearts with 18 different ischemic lesions in 7 realistic torso models. Position of each lesion represented by a single dipole was then searched by an inverse solution. Difference QRST integral maps reflecting differences between cardioelectric fields of the ischemic and normal hearts were used. With a standard heart model the mean error of the lesion localization was 3.4 cm. With a standard heart model shifted to an inversely estimated position this error was 3.9 cm, for an equally shifted and properly formed and rotated heart model the error was 2.4 cm and for a heart model properly shifted, formed and rotated the error was 1.1 cm. If realistic CT or MRI-based torso model was used the lesion localization error was 0.7 cm. From the results it can be concluded that use of adjusted standard torso model with properly positioned and formed standard heart model can lead to acceptable accuracy of the inverse localization of an ischemic lesion

    Impact of the patient torso model on the solution of the inverse problem of electrocardiography

    Cardiac diagnostics based on a solution of the inverse problem of electrocardiography offers new tools for visual assessment of cardiac ischemia. The accuracy of the inverse solution is influenced by fidelity of the patient torso model. As optimum, an individual torso model with real heart shape and position obtained from CT or MRI is desirable. However, imaging is not always available in clinical practice, hence we investigated, if a generic torso shape individually adjusted according to patient†s chest dimensions, with a simplified heart model placed to a vertical position obtained from inverse localization of the early ventricular activation can result in an inverse solution close to the result obtained with an accurate torso model. Simulated inverse localization of 18 ischemic lesions for 9 subjects showed that the use of individually adjusted generic torso instead of real torso shape led to an acceptable increase of the lesion localization error from 0.7±0.7 cm to 1.1±0.7 cm when accurate heart model was used. However, if simplified heart model was used and placed in a vertical position according to the V2 lead level, the lesion localization error increased to 3.5±0.9 cm. Moving the simplified heart model to a position estimated by the inverse solution decreased the vertical heart positioning error from 1.6±2.3 cm to 0.2±1.2 cm but without adjusting the heart shape and rotation the lesion localization error did not improve and reached 3.7±1.0 cm
