Abstract
Computer assisted cardiac mapping system has made it possible to display local activation times of the heart using a simultaneous multi-point data aquisition system, and opened an era in electrophyslology guided cardiac arrhythmia surgery especially in ventricular tachycardia. In this study, we have developed a 64 channel computerized cardiacmapping system us:ng a micro-computer for basic reasearch of electrophysiology and electrical propagation in cardiac arrhythmias. The significant tasks of this study were the simultaneous acquisition of large amount of data from 64 sites, accurate and rapid analysis, and the effective display of the analyzed data. To solve these problems, we made a 64 channel signal pre-processing board in order to amplify and fitter the raw signals. And we developed the soflu'are Yor cardiac isochronous mapping whictl is presented immediately ama computer-generated graphics. This system is expected 4o enable us to study pathophyslology of cardiac arrhythmia and to improve the results of diagnosis and surgical treatments for cardiac arrhythmia.
