Summary[edit]

Description

Cardiac Electrophysiology Using computer simulations, FDA investigators study the electrical activity of the heart as it relates to medical devices such as cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators. Both approaches involve studies of single and multiple cells, and the whole heart. Optical mapping of membrane potential is used to record the electrical activity and intracellular calcium dynamics as well as wave propagation. FDA is studying the effect of defibrillation waveforms on the ability to stop fibrillation – the dangerous and potentially fatal rapid, irregular, and unsynchronized contraction of the heart.
