Abstract

The development of a simple mapping technology for viewing the activation wavefronts of rodent hearts is currently ongoing. The successful development of an electrophysiologic (EP) electrode array biosensor for rodent hearts has been the foundation of this work. Our goal is to develop a simple method to process EP data obtained by the biosensor and present the data in a graphical format suitable for additional quantitative and qualitative analysis
