\ Projects \ Cardiac Electric Imaging
Instrumentation for measuring the patterns of electrical activation on the heart surfaces (using a 256-channel electrode sock) and through the wall (with plunge needle electrodes), are being developed by the Auckland Bioengineering Institute. Wellcome Trust funding has enabled one such system to be installed at University College hospital in London for use on patients during open heart surgery.
  

 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
Our human whole heart model validation study looking at cardiac electrical imaging has recently received significant attention in the literature as a consequence of our combined approach using experimental work and mathematical modelling to study mechanisms of ventricular fibrillation.
