Fever Unmasked Brugada Syndrome in Pediatric Patient: A Case Report [PDF]
, 2020 Introduction: Brugada syndrome is an arrhythmogenic disorder that is a known cause of sudden cardiac death. It is characterized by a pattern of ST segment elevation in the precordial leads on an electrocardiogram (EKG) due to a sodium channelopathy.Case ...

The Mathematical Modelling of Inhomogeneities in Ventricular Tissue [PDF]
arXiv, 2007 Cardiac arrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation (VF) are the leading cause of death in the industrialised world. There is a growing consensus that these arrhythmias arise because of the formation of spiral waves of electrical activation in cardiac tissue; unbroken spiral waves are associated with VT and broken ones ...

Species-Dependent Mechanisms of Cardiac Arrhythmia: A Cellular Focus
Clinical Medicine Insights: Cardiology, 2017 Although ventricular arrhythmia remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, available antiarrhythmic drugs have limited efficacy. Disappointing progress in the development of novel, clinically relevant antiarrhythmic agents may partly be ...

Ventricular Tachycardia in the Absence of Structural Heart Disease [PDF]
, 2005 In up to 10% of patients who present with ventricular tachycardia (VT), obvious structural heart disease is not identified. In such patients, causes of ventricular arrhythmia include right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) VT, extrasystoles, idiopathic ...

Short-Term Exposure to Air Pollution and Cardiac Arrhythmia: A Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2016 The objective was to assess the transient association between air pollution and cardiac arrhythmia. Five databases were searched for studies investigating the association between daily increases in air pollutants (PM2.5, PM10, carbon monoxide, nitrogen ...

Quantitative Regular Expressions for Arrhythmia Detection Algorithms [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 Motivated by the problem of verifying the correctness of arrhythmia-detection algorithms, we present a formalization of these algorithms in the language of Quantitative Regular Expressions. QREs are a flexible formal language for specifying complex numerical queries over data streams, with provable runtime and memory consumption guarantees. The medical-

An eikonal model with re-excitability for fast simulations in cardiac electrophysiology [PDF]
arXivPrecision cardiology based on cardiac digital twins requires accurate simulations of cardiac arrhythmias. However, detailed models, such as the monodomain model, are computationally costly and have limited applicability in practice. Thus, it desirable to have fast models that can still represent the main physiological features presented during cardiac ...

Pattern of initiation of monomorphic ventricular tachycardia in recorded intracardiac electrograms [PDF]
, 2005 Background: By analyzing stored intracardiac electrograms during spontaneous monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT), we examined the patterns of the VT initiation in a group of patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs).

CyberCardia: Patient-specific electrophysiological heart model for assisting left atrium arrhythmia ablation [PDF]
arXivAtrial arrhythmia can be categorized into tachycardia, flutter, and fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation is a prevalent heart disease that results in weak and irregular contractions of the atria. It affects millions people worldwide and contributes to hundreds of thousands deaths annually.
