  1. Experimental Study of the Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Effect with respect to Intracardiac ECG Signals W. B. Buchenberg1, G. Hoppe1, R. Lorenz1, W. Mader2, P. Laudy3, C. Bienek4andB.

  2. 1 ELECTROPHYSIOLOGIC(EP) STUDIES • assess cardiac electrical system • diagnosis and therapy of EP disorders • catheter guidance: • X-ray fluoroscopic imaging disadvantages: • x-ray exposure (staff + patient) • poor tissue contrast • alternative imaging modalities: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) catheters

  3. MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMIC (MHD) EFFECT • s u r f a c e E C G s B = 0 T B ≈ 1.5 T • distortion of surface ECGs1,2,3 and intracardiac ECGs (iEGMs)4

  4. MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMIC (MHD) EFFECT induced voltage1,2: • mean flow velocity of axial symmetrical flow profile • B0 external magnetic field • d electrode distance 0 3

  5. OBJECTIVES establish experimental setup for simulating MHD signal with common clinical EP-devices • characterization of measured MHD-signal Umeas(bipolar): • magnetic field strength • electrode distance • filter settings of recording modality • comparison of Umeas with UMRI,calcfrom MR flow measurements • implementation of methods to remove MHD signals from intracardiac ECG signal (iEGMs)

  6. EXPERIMENTAL SETUP • simulateelectricalconductivityofblood: dist. H2O + NaCl 1.5 Tesla 50 bpm

  7. EXPERIMENTAL SETUP • simulateelectricalconductivityofblood: dist. H2O + NaCl 1.5 Tesla 50 bpm VAD (Ventricular Assist Device):

  8. EXPERIMENTAL SETUP • simulateelectricalconductivityofblood: dist. H2O + NaCl 1.5 Tesla 50 bpm UMHD (1) catheterpositioning:

  9. EXPERIMENTAL SETUP • simulateelectricalconductivityofblood: dist. H2O + NaCl 1.5 Tesla 50 bpm (1)

  10. EXPERIMENTAL SETUP • simulateelectricalconductivityofblood: dist. H2O + NaCl 1.5 Tesla 50 bpm (1)

  11. MRI FLOW MEASUREMENTS 2D slice

  12. RESULTS – MHD SIGNAL vs. TIME UMHD,PP

  13. RESULTS – MHD SIGNAL vs. TIME UMHD,PP

  14. RESULTS – MHD VOLTAGE vs. DISTANCE

  15. RESULTS – MHD VOLTAGE vs. MAGNETIC FIELD

  16. RESULTS – MHD VOLTAGES (2/9)

  17. RESULTS – MHD VOLTAGES high pass filtered (fcutoff = 0.05 Hz) (2/9)

  18. RESULTS – HIGH PASS FILTERS • UMHD,PP (fcut off : 0.2 Hz) ≈ UMHD,PP (fcut off : 0.05 Hz) (within ± 4%) • UMHD,PP (fcut off : 40 Hz) remaining UMHD,PP ≤ 3% • UMHD,PP (fcut off : 80 Hz) remaining UMHD,PP ≤ 2%

  19. DISCUSSION & OUTLOOK • experimental setupestablishedsuccessfully • MHD potential (bipolar measured) was characterized: • shows linear dependency on B0, d • followscharacteristicsofvelocitypattern • same orderofmagnitudeasintracardiac signals1 • MR flow data - post processing: • MHD signal reconstructed using MR velocity data • measured and calculated MHD signal agree very well • Outlook • iEGM data correction based on MR flow measurements
