In this article the roles of semi-invasive esophageal left-heart electrocardiography and functional cardiac nuclear imaging in the field of CRT are highlighted, as the combination of both could be a favourable diagnostic approach in special cardiac situations. Also original esophageal left heart electrogram data of exemplary CRT patients is presented.}, language = {en} } @article{KraemerHeinkeEchleetal., author = {Kr{\"a}mer, Martin and Heinke, Matthias and Echle, Reinhard and Sch{\"u}ssele, Lothar}, title = {E-Feld-Simulation bei CRT und Ablation}, series = {IAF Hochschule Offenburg}, volume = {Forschung im fokus}, number = {20 / 2017}, issn = {1866-9352}, pages = {61 -- 62}, abstract = {Die Entwicklung von neuartigen Elektrodentypen und die Weiterentwicklung bestehender Produkten machen einen großen Teil der entstehenden Kosten f{\"u}r ein Unternehmen aus. Mithilfe geeigneter Software k{\"o}nnen {\"A}nderungen der Konstruktionen erfasst und bestimmte Simulationen, bspw. das Auftreten von Wechselwirkungen im elektrischen Feld, vor der eigentlichen Prototypenerstellung durchgef{\"u}hrt werden. Das Ziel der Studie besteht in der Modellierung unterschiedlicher Schritt- macher- und Ablationselektroden und deren Integration in das Offenburger Herzrhythmusmodell (HRM) zur statischen und dynamischen Simulation der biventrikul{\"a}ren Stimulation und HF Ablation bei Vorhofflimmern (AF). The development of innovative types of electrodes and the further development of existing pro- ducts account for a large part of the resulting costs for a company. With the help of suitable soft- ware, changes of the constructions can be recorded and certain simulations, eg. the occurrence of interactions in the electric field, can be carried out before the actual prototyping. The aim of the stu- dy was to model different pacing and ablation electrodes and to integrate them into the Offenburg heart rhythm model (HRM) for the static and dynamic simulation of bivenrtricular stimulation and HF ablation in atrial fibrillation (AF).}, language = {de} }
