Intracardiac Electrogram 心内电图g
Electrodes record the local electrical activity:Electrodes record the local electrical activity:Sequence activation and timing
Normal tissue will show high frequency andamplitude signals (eg. 10 to 250 Hz)amplitude signals (eg. 10 to 250 Hz)
Diseased tissue may show low amplitudeDiseased tissue may show low amplitudefractionated signals
Catheters
Catheter curveElectrode spacing: 2mm, 5mm, 10mm, 2-10-2mm
How Are Electrograms Generated?
Band Pass Filter (Bipolar recordings)
High pass filter – removes low frequencyg p q y( Respiratory or motion oscillations) Eg. 30 Hz
Low pass filter – removes high frequency p g q y(Excessive large high frequency signals) Eg. 500Hz
Band pass – 30 to 500 Hz allows signals between 30 and 500 Hz to pass through
