Does a two-dipole ranging technique accurately detect and localize multiple epicardial electrical generators in isolated rabbit hearts?

Population

24 isolated, perfused rabbit heart preparations, suspended in an electrolyte-filled spherical tank

Intervention

Two-dipole ranging technique (numerical procedure to detect and localize two experimentally induced epicardial dipolar generators)

Outcome

Accuracy of detecting and localizing one or two independent dipoles (distance from the centroid of the lesion)surrogate

A two-dipole ranging technique can accurately detect and localize two simultaneously active epicardial electrical generators in an isolated rabbit heart model.
