Abstract :
Optical probes have been used to monitor cardiac action potentials since the mid 1970s [1]. This method now permits mapping of cardiac propagation and recovery with resolution that is unattainable by conventional mapping techniques. This paper will review the basis of voltage-sensitive fluorescence, fluorescence detection, and applications of optical mapping to cardiac electrophysiology research.
