Congestive Heart Failure Leads to Prolongation of the PR Interval and Atrioventricular Junction Enlargement and Ion Channel Remodelling in the Rabbit. [PDF]
Heart failure is a major killer worldwide. Atrioventricular conduction block is common in heart failure; it is associated with worse outcomes and can lead to syncope and bradycardic death.

ASIC Implementation of Denoising Filters for Pacemakers [PDF]
Cardiac Pacemakers are used to regulate the hearts rhythm and prevent abnormal heart beats. Patients undergo a minimal surgery to get the pacemaker implanted in the body, whereas these devices do have their limitations such as battery life, power consumption and integrated circuit area which makes it difficult for elderly and children to undergo this ...

Atrioventricular node dysfunction and ion channel transcriptome in pulmonary hypertension [PDF]
Background—Heart block is associated with pulmonary hypertension, and the aim of the study was to test the hypothesis that the heart block is the result of a change in the ion channel transcriptome of the atrioventricular (AV) node.

Permanent complete heart block following surgical correction of congenital heart disease.
BACKGROUND The risk of complete heart block (CHB) from congenital heart repairs in Ghana is unknown. This information is important for referring physicians and in pre-operative counselling of patients and facilitates the process of obtaining informed ...

Application of Unit Time Block Entropy to Fetal Distress Heart Rate [PDF]
Recently, multiple time scale characteristics of heart dynamics have received much attention for distinguishing healthy and pathologic cardiac systems. Despite structural peculiarities of the fetal cardiovascular system, the fetal heart rate(FHR) displays multiple time scale characteristics similar to the adult heart rate due to the autorhythmicity of ...

Block Sparse Multi-lead ECG Compression Exploiting between-lead Collaboration [PDF]
Multilead ECG compression (MlEC) has attracted tremendous attention in long-term monitoring of the patients heart behavior. This paper proposes a method denoted by block sparse MlEC (BlS MlEC) in order to exploit between-lead correlations to compress the signals in a more efficient way.
