• Abstract summary: We employ a recently developed approach, called physics informed neural networks, to learn the fiber orientations from electroanatomical maps. In particular, we train the neural network to weakly satisfy the anisotropic eikonal equation and to predict the measured activation times. The methodology is tested both in a synthetic example and for patient data.

• Abstract: Electroanatomical maps are a key tool in the diagnosis and treatment of atrial fibrillation. Current approaches focus on the activation times recorded. However, more information can be extracted from the available data. The fibers in cardiac tissue conduct the electrical wave faster, and their direction could be inferred from activation times. In this work, we employ a recently developed approach, called physics informed neural networks, to learn the fiber orientations from electroanatomical maps, taking into account the physics of the electrical wave propagation. In particular, we train the neural network to weakly satisfy the anisotropic eikonal equation and to predict the measured activation times. We use a local basis for the anisotropic conductivity tensor, which encodes the fiber orientation. The methodology is tested both in a synthetic example and for patient data. Our approach shows good agreement in both cases and it outperforms a state of the art method in the patient data. The results show a first step towards learning the fiber orientations from electroanatomical maps with physics-informed neural networks.

It is currently impossible to map the three-dimensional morphology of the electrical waves throughout the entire heart muscle. Here, we demonstrate in computer simulations that it is possible to predict three-dimensional electrical wave dynamics from ventricular deformation mechanics.

  It is necessary to consider the behavior of the signals in each sensor separately, to take into account their correlation and hidden relationships with each other. The graph nodes can be represented as data from the different sensors, and the edges can display the influence of these data on each other. It was proposed to construct a graph during the training of graph neural network. This allows to train models on data where the dependencies between the sensors are not known in advance.

Models trained with synthetic data are compared to their counterparts trained with real data. Experiments show robust performance with different seeds and training examples on different test sets without any test set specific tuning.
