Abstract
A Thin-Film Microelectrode Array (TFMEA) capable of recording electrical activities of the heart with high spatial resolution, on the order of individual myocytes, was developed and characterized to study the mechanisms of arrhythmias. A customized multichannel signal conditioning microchip (SCM) consisting of a pre-amplification stage and band-pass filter was interfaced directly to the electrodes on the TFMEA to improve the signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). The results suggest that the TFMEA-SCM system will greatly enhance the spatial resolution and improve signal quality for high resolution cardiac mapping.
