Optical mapping is a tool used in cardiac electrophysiology to study the heart's normal rhythm and arrhythmias. The optical mapping technique provides a unique opportunity to obtain membrane potential recordings with a higher temporal and spatial resolution than electrical mapping. Additionally, it allows simultaneous recording of membrane potential and calcium transients in the whole heart. This article presents the basic concepts of optical mapping techniques as an introduction for students and investigators in experimental laboratories unfamiliar with it.
光学标测是心脏电生理学中用于研究心脏正常节律和心律失常的一种工具。光学标测技术提供了一个独特的机会,可以获得比电标测更高时间和空间分辨率的膜电位记录。此外,它还允许在整个心脏中同时记录膜电位和钙瞬变。本文介绍了光学标测技术的基本概念,以供不熟悉该技术的实验实验室的学生和研究人员参考。
