Aims A key mechanism responsible for atrial fibrillation is multi-wavelet reentry (MWR). We have previously demonstrated that ablation in regions of increased circuit density reduces the duration of, and decreases the inducibility of MWR. In this study, we demonstrate a method for identifying local circuit density using electrogram frequency and validated its effectiveness for map-guided ablation in a computer model of MWR. Methods and results We simulated MWR in tissues with variation of action potential duration and intercellular resistance. Electrograms were calculated using various electrode sizes and configurations. We measured and compared the number of circuits to the tissue activation frequency and electrogram frequency using three recording configurations [unipolar, contact bipolar, orthogonal closed unipolar (OCU)] and two frequency measurements (dominant frequency, centroid frequency). We then used the highest resolution electrogram frequency map (OCU centroid frequency) to guide the placement of lesions to high frequency regions. Map-guided ablation was compared with no ablation and random/blind ablation lesions of equal length. Electrogram frequency correlated with tissue frequency and circuit density as a function of electrode spatial resolution. Map-guided ablation resulted in a significant reduction in MWR duration (142 +/- 174 vs. 41 +/- 63 s). Conclusion Electrogram frequency correlates with circuit density in MWR provided electrodes have high spatial resolution. Map-guided ablation is superior to no ablation and to blind/random ablation.
