Abstract

In this study, we have developed 64 channel computerized cardiac mapping system using micro-computer for basic research of electrophysiology and electrical propagation in cardiac arrhythmias. The significant problems of this study are the simultaneous acquisition of large amount data at 64 sites, the need of accurate and rapid analysis, and the effective display of the analyzed data. To solve these problems, we made 64 channel signal pre-processing board in order to amplify and filter the raw signals. And the software for cardiac isochronous mapping which were presented immediately via computer-generated graphics has been developed. This system is expected to enable us to study pathophysiology of cardiac arrhythmia and to improve the results of diagnosis and surgical treatment for cardiac arrhythmia.
