Cryoballoon Catheter Ablation in Atrial Fibrillation

Cardiology Research and Practice, 2011
Pulmonary vein isolation with catheter ablation is an effective treatment in patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation refractory or intolerant to antiarrhythmic medications. The cryoballoon catheter was recently approved for this procedure.

Liveness‐Verified Dynamic Time Warping‐Based Authentication and Hybrid Adaptive Neuro‐Fuzzy Inference System Identification for Single‐Channel Diaphragmatic Breathing Surface Electromyography Biometrics

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
The first biometric framework to harness dynamic time warping (DTW) for single‐channel diaphragmatic surface electromyography authentication via post‐hoc alignment is presented. By optimally warping deep–normal–deep breath cycles, DTW achieves perfect genuine–impostor separation (equal error rates = 0%), while a parallel adaptive neuro‐fuzzy inference ...

Hierarchical Superposition Framework Reveals the Complex Effects of Natural Medicine Formulas

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A novel hierarchical superposition pharmacological model incorporates the principle of hierarchical structures from physics to simulate the spatiotemporal dynamics of drug combinations, to elucidate the universal law underlying drug combination effects. By modeling cross‐level causal transmission and attenuation, it advances beyond traditional additive

The predictive value of pan-immune inflammatory index for early recurrence of atrial fibrillation after cryoablation

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders
Objective The pan-immune inflammatory (PIV) index holds prognostic value for cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to investigate the predictive value of the PIV index regarding recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) after cryoballoon ablation (CBA).

High Incidence of Atrial Fibrillation After Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source in Posterior Cerebral Artery Territory

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2017
BackgroundSubclinical atrial fibrillation is one possible cause of embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS). It remains to be elucidated if a specific infarction site has a predictive value for detecting subclinical atrial fibrillation.

Parametric Design of Continuum Robots Using Interlocking Ball Joints

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Herein, a parametric design methodology is introduced for producing a wide variety of modular ball joint‐based continuum robots. It is demonstrate by designing a magnetically actuated continuum robot for cardiac ablations. The methodology is released as an open‐source computer‐assisted design extension that automatically designs continuum robots based ...

The genetic component of Brugada Syndrome

Frontiers in Physiology, 2013
Brugada Syndrome (BrS) is a clinical entity first described in 1992. BrS is characterized by ST-segment elevations in the right precordial leads and susceptibility to ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death.

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 ...
