Simulation of two-dimensional activation
maps in the heart
Heart activation images were generated by computer
simulations using an electrophysiological model that
incorporates recent data on cardiac tissue properties
and arrhythmia mechanisms. The model parameters were
adjusted so that the heart's activity is synchronized
with the ECG signals. Each simulation lasts between 10
and 25 seconds.
Database of more than 30 arrhythmias and conduction
abnormalities.
The database includes:
- Sinus arrhythmia
- Sinoatrial block
- Wandering atrial pacemaker
- Sick sinus syndrome
- Premature atrial complexes
- Unifocal atrial tachycardia
- Multifocal atrial tachycardia
- Atrial flutter
- Atrial fibrillation
- 1st-degree AV block
- 2nd-degree AV block (Mobitz I, II, and 2:1)
- 3rd-degree AV block
- Junctional escape complexes
- Nonparoxysmal junctional tachycardia
- AV nodal reentrant tachycardia
- AV re-entrant tachycardia
- Wolff-Parkinson-White pattern
- Premature ventricular complexes (PVCs)
- Ventricular bigeminy
- Ventricular trigeminy
- Ventricular couplets
- Fusion beats
- Multiform PVCs
- Right bundle-branch block
- Left bundle-branch block
- Idioventricular rhythm
- Accelerated idioventricular rhythm
- Monomorphic ventricular tachycardia
- Ventricular flutter
- Ventricular fibrillation
Real ECG signals
The software displays excerpts of two-ambulatory EKG
recordings extracted from the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia
Database and other EKG libraries. The libraries have
been used extensively around the globe by researchers
and medical device manufactures to test the performance
of arrhythmia analysis algorithms.
Interactive and user-friendly graphical interface
The graphical interface simulates a virtual ECG
device with additional animation panels:
-
Multimedia buttons to control the
animation sequence (Play, Stop, Pause, Frame by Frame,
and speed control).
-
Knobs allowing the user to change the
time and amplitude scales of the ECG tracings.
-
Beat-to-beat display of heart rate,
QRS complex duration, and PR and corrected QT
intervals.
-
The ECG intervals are presented in the
form of bars with different colors to distinguish
between normal and abnormal values.
-
ECG screen with different graphical
flavors: cyan, amber, and green traces on black
background, or blue-dark trace on ECG paper.
-
Options to display beat annotations
and a screen grid.
Documentation
Each arrhythmia case is documented. The document
includes different sections such as description of the
arrhythmia, ECG characteristics, and
electrophysiological mechanisms. Related arrhythmias
that are not included in the software are also
discussed.
Figures and diagrams are included to illustrate
important concepts. A separate chapter introduces basic
concepts of cardiac electrophysiology and mechanisms of
arrhythmogenesis.
Limitations
1. The heart is a complex three-dimensional
structure. Our simulations, which are based on a
two-dimensional model of the heart's electrical
activity, portray a simplified projection of the
three-dimensional activation maps observed in epicardial
and endocardial measurements during electrophysiological
experiments.
2. The number of ECG leads is limited to two.

Comprehensive database
The software includes 150 quizzes covering a large
spectrum of cardiac arrhythmias from simple cases to
challenging ones.
Multiple-Choice Questions
Each test presents 100 cases randomly selected from
the database so that two tests will never look the same.
This makes the questions less predictable and prolongs
the software usage life. The quiz is organized into
Multiple-Choice Questions with one correct answer.
Answers are in the form of a web browser text format and
include hyperlinks. The links allow emphasizing a
particular finding by highlighting a specific segment of
the ECG.
Digital ECG recordings
Among the benefits of digital signals versus images
of ECG strips include accurate measurements of ECG
parameters and fine-grain zooming capabilities. We think
that the ability to modify the amplitude and time scales
of the signals can help reveal details that otherwise
would have been difficult to find.
Interactive user interface
The software is highly interactive with easy-to-use
graphical controls that, among other things, allow the
user to navigate the database, select the questions and
answers, and modify the amplitude and time scales of the
signal.
History and statistics
A test can be saved and completed later. The results
of the saved tests are accessible and can be sorted by
name, date, or score.
Limitations
The number of ECG leads is limited to two.

Description
EKG Panorama is a comprehensive and easily navigable
reference library of 12-lead EKGs (two cases include one
lead only)The EKGs are digital signals, not
reproductions of EKG tracings. The cases are organized
in a hierarchical structure similar to a familiar folder
tree format. Each EKG is accompanied by a picture
illustrating the cardiac condition and a synopsis. In
some cases, a ladder diagram is included. The ladder
diagram is a useful 2D representation that helps explain
cardiac arrhythmias.

Vectorcardiography
TheThe X, Y, and Z signals of the Frank-lead system are
displayed in the form of vectorcardiograms in four
different referential systems: 3D, frontal plane,
horizontal plane, and left sagittal plane. A different
color is assigned for each of the P wave, QRS complex,
and T wave.
Body surface potential mapping
Body surface potential maps are generated using the
heart dipole theory and a realistic torso model. The
heart position is calculated to minimize the error
between the simulated electric potential and the
potential recorded by the chest electrodes.
Learning cases
The library consists of 31 real cases divided into
five sections: normal variants (7 cases), myocardial
infarction (12 cases), bundle-branch block (7 cases),
ventricular hypertrophy (3 cases), and
Wolff-Parkinson-White pattern (2 cases).
Test cases
Fifty standard 12-lead EKG tracings are included for
practice. Navigation through the cases is
straightforward and answers are provided.
Help
The help includes sections that introduce the basis
of electrocardiography, some important concepts such as
the cardiac dipole and the electrical axis of the heart,
vector cardiography, and ECG diagnoses related to the
learning cases covered in the software.
Limitation
One torso model that fits all cases is used to
simulate the body surface potential mappings. Due to
inter-individual variations in the thorax shape and
chest electrode positions, the calculated electric
potential does not always correspond to the recorded
potential. However, the overall picture of the mappings
during the time course of the electrocardiogram is
preserved.

Opportunity. Danger. The workup of
chest pain presents both. With thrombolytic drugs,
the physician can help the MI patient as never
before. Yet never has the danger been greater:
Lawsuits for improper management of chest pain are
the biggest-dollar loss to internists and
emergency physicians.
The Chest Pain Simulator
addresses both the opportunity and the danger.
It simulates the workup of chest pain, including
many non-cardiac causes of pain, and gives the
user practice in determining the indications and
contraindications to thrombolytics.
"This
program is an excellent training environment for
physicians interested in learning state-of-the-art
thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial
infarction." Medical Software Reviews
The Chest
Pain Simulator screen is
designed for easy history-taking, examination,
testing, and intervention. You manage the
Chest Pain Simulator patients like real ones:
stabilize, take a full
history, perform a physical exam, order and interpret tests, and give
treatment orders. The computer watches your
workup, looking for weaknesses and pointing them
out. The program also rates your time- and
cost-efficiency.
The program features a single-student,
or multiple student mode that is set up at
program installation. Tutorials help you
get "up to speed" on thrombolytic
therapy and chest pain workup. And the manual
contains some of the most practical information
you've ever read. It's even available in the
program. Other nice features include an on-line
patient chart.

An
interactive tutorial to teach the basic
physiology of the heart
The highly interactive program is designed to
teach the basic physiology of the heart and is
designed to complement and accompany a similar
program (The Circulation.) covering the
physiology of the circulatory vessels. It is
divided into several sections accessed from a
menu:
Introduction: - structure and function
of the cardiovascular system;
The Heart:
- gross structure - chambers and major
blood vessels, the wall of the heart and the
pericardium;
- heart valves - structure and function
of atrioventricular and semi-lunar valves;
- histology - cardiac muscle and
pacemaker cells;
- excitation - spread of depolarization
and the ECG;
- heart sounds
- the cardiac cycle - pressure and
volume changes;
- cardiac output - control by autonomic
nerves, hormones and autoregulation.
High quality colour graphics are used
extensively throughout the program and features
such as animation and a Hypertext facility are
used to enhance student learning. The program is
highly interactive and uses several features to
promote this. For example students are required
to:
a) label diagrams by "dragging"
labels from a list and "dropping" them
into the box corresponding to the correct
position on the diagram;
b) interpret recordings of pacemaker cell
action potentials to better understand the effect
of autonomic nerves on heart rate.
In addition they must answer a variety of
questions included in each section. These may be
multiple choice, selecting correct phrases from a
list to complete a statement, and true/false
questions with feedback.
