- W2473332014 abstract "[EN] Atrial tachyarrhythmias present a high prevalence in the developed world, and several studies predict that in the coming decades it will be increased. Micro or macro-reentrant mechanisms of the electrical wavefronts that govern the mechanical behavior of the heart are one of the main responsibles for the maintenance of these arrhythmias. Atrial flutter is maintained by a macro-reentry around an anatomical or functional obstacle located in the atria. In the case of atrial fibrillation, the hypothesis which describes high frequency rotors as dominant sources of the fibrillation and responsible for the maintenance of the arrhythmia, has been gaining relevance in the last years. However, the therapies that target high frequency sources have a limited efficacy with current techniques.Radiofrequency ablation allows the destruction of parts of the cardiac tissue resulting in the interruption of the reentrant circuit in case of macro-reentries or the isolation of micro-reentrant circuits. The non-invasive location of reentrant circuits would increment the efficacy of these therapies and would shorten surgery interventions.In parallel, pharmacological therapies modify ionic expressions associated to the excitability and electrical refractoriness of the cardiac tissue with the objective of hindering the maintenance of reentrant behaviors. These therapies require a deep knowledge of the ionic mechanisms underlying the reentrant behavior and its properties in order to be effective. The research in these mechanisms allows the evaluation of new targets for the treatment and thus may improve the efficacy in atrial fibrillation termination.In this thesis, mathematical modeling is used to go forward in the minimization of the limitations associated to these treatments. Body surface potential mapping has been evaluated, both clinically and by means of mathematical simulations for the diagnosis and location of macro-reentrant circuits. The analysis of phase maps obtained from multiple lead electrocardiographic recordings distributed in the whole torso allowed the discrimination between different reentrant circuits. It is the reason why this technique is presented as a tool for the non-invasive location of macro and micro-reentrant circuits.A population of mathematical models designed in this thesis based on the action potentials recordings of atrial cardiomyocites from 149 patients, allowed the evaluation of the ionic mechanisms defining the properties of reentrant behaviors. This study has allowed us defining the blockade of ICaL as a target for the pharmacological treatment. The blockade of this current is associated with the increase of the movement in the core of the rotor which easies the collision of the rotor with other wavefronts or anatomical obstacles promoting the extinction of the reentry. The variability observed between patients modeled in our population has allowed showing and explaining the mechanisms promoting divergent results of a single treatment. This is why the introduction of populations of models will…" @default.
