Atrial Fibrillation Detection Using RR-Intervals for Application in Photoplethysmographs [PDF]
Atrial Fibrillation is a common form of irregular heart rhythm that can be very dangerous. Our primary goal is to analyze Atrial Fibrillation data within ECGs to develop a model based only on RR-Intervals, or the length between heart-beats, to create a real time classification model for Atrial Fibrillation to be implemented in common heart-rate ...

A study of early afterdepolarizations in a model for human ventricular tissue [PDF]
Sudden cardiac death is often caused by cardiac arrhythmias. Recently, special attention has been given to a certain arrhythmogenic condition, the long-QT syndrome, which occurs as a result of genetic mutations or drug toxicity. The underlying mechanisms

An equilibrium double-twist model for the radial structure of collagen fibrils [PDF]
Mammalian tissues contain networks and ordered arrays of collagen fibrils originating from the periodic self-assembly of helical 300 nm long tropocollagen complexes. The fibril radius is typically between 25 to 250 nm, and tropocollagen at the surface appears to exhibit a characteristic twist-angle with respect to the fibril axis.

Development of an international standard set of outcome measures for patients with atrial fibrillation: a report of the International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement (ICHOM) atrial fibrillation working group. [PDF]
AIMS: As health systems around the world increasingly look to measure and improve the value of care that they provide to patients, being able to measure the outcomes that matter most to patients is vital.

From Atrial Fibrillation to Ventricular Fibrillation and Back [PDF]
A 27-year-old man without any previously known health conditions was found unresponsive on the street after he had been exercising. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was started by bystanders. On arrival of the emergency services, the rhythm strip in Figure 1A was recorded.

Impact of atrial fibrillation on the cardiovascular system through a lumped-parameter approach [PDF]
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia affecting millions of people in the Western countries and, due to the widespread impact on the population and its medical relevance, is largely investigated in both clinical and bioengineering ...

Occurrence, Risk Factors, and Prognosis of Acute Cerebral Microinfarcts in CADASIL
ABSTRACT Introduction Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is the most common monogenic cerebral small vessel disease in adults. This study investigates the occurrence, risk factors, and prognosis of acute cerebral microinfarcts (ACMIs) in patients with CADASIL.

Transseptal puncture (TSP) is widely used in catheter-based cardiac interventions to gain left atrial (LA) access, but its workflow has remained largely unchanged and is still a source of serious complications.
