| Abstract | Radiofrequency ablation has been used to treat some types of cardiac arrhythmias. We have previously proposed an ARMAX model (non structural) to estimate the temperature in the tissue during ablation. Computer modeling has allowed us to study the temperature distribution by means of solving numerically theoretical models based on partial differential equations, which represent physical phenomena. Now, our objective is to consider the biological tissue as a system with an input (applied voltage) and output (tissue temperature), and search for a transfer function between these variables. The final aim is to have a simple model that could estimate the temperature at each point of the tissue. We solved the model using the finite element method and identified the transfer function between the temperature at 4 mm depth and an applied voltage using a 7Fr and 4 mm electrode. We used COMSOL Multiphysics to solve the electro-thermal problem and MATLAB to obtain the transfer function. The results showed that the variation in the electrical conductivity of cardiac tissue affected only the static gain of the system, while the variation in the specific heat produced a change only in the dynamic system response. However, the variation in thermal conductivity modified both the static gain and the dynamic system response. These results are a first step towards the development of a macroscopic model based in physical principles, which would lead to better temperature estimation during ablation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
