Conduction System Pacing for Cardiac Resynchronisation
Conduction system pacing (CSP) is a technique of pacing that involves implantation of permanent pacing leads along different sites of the cardiac conduction system and includes His bundle pacing and left bundle branch pacing.

Malaria and the conducting system of the heart [PDF]
We report the case of an adult male patient who was admitted to our hospital with a diagnosis of vivax malaria complicated with renal insufficiency and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The patient was treated with intravenous artesunate. He was intubated and mechanically ventilated and taken up for haemodialysis in view of worsening renal ...

Giant cell myocarditis masquerading as orbital myositis with a rapid, fulminant course necessitating mechanical support and heart transplantation. [PDF]
Giant cell myocarditis (GCM), a rapidly progressive inflammation of the myocardium, is associated with fulminant heart failure, refractory ventricular arrhythmias, and conduction system abnormalities.

Abstract Positron emission tomography with x‐ray computed tomography (PET/CT) is increasingly being utilized for radiation treatment planning (RTP). Accurate delivery of RT therefore depends on quality PET/CT data. This study covers quality control (QC) procedures required for PET/CT for diagnostic imaging and incremental QC required for RTP.

Treatment planning with a 2.5 MV photon beam for radiation therapy
Abstract Purpose The shallow depth of maximum dose and higher dose fall‐off gradient of a 2.5 MV beam along the central axis that is available for imaging on linear accelerators is investigated for treatment of shallow tumors and sparing the organs at risk (OARs) beyond it.

Heart Attack Classification System using Neural Network Trained with Particle Swarm Optimization [PDF]
The prior detection of a heart attack could lead to the saving of one's life. Putting specific criteria into a system that provides an early warning of an imminent at-tack will be advantageous to a better prevention plan for an upcoming heart attack. Some studies have been conducted for this purpose, but yet the goal has not been reached to prevent a ...

Frontiers in conduction system pacing: treatment of long PR in patients with heart failure [PDF]
Patients with heart failure who have a prolonged PR interval are at a greater risk of adverse clinical outcomes than those with a normal PR interval. Potential mechanisms of harm relating to prolonged PR intervals include reduced ventricular filling and ...

hEARt: Motion-resilient Heart Rate Monitoring with In-ear Microphones [PDF]
With the soaring adoption of in-ear wearables, the research community has started investigating suitable in-ear heart rate (HR) detection systems. HR is a key physiological marker of cardiovascular health and physical fitness. Continuous and reliable HR monitoring with wearable devices has therefore gained increasing attention in recent years. Existing

A case of complete heart block with a therapeutic dilemma [PDF]
Third-degree atrioventricular (AV) block, also referred to as complete heart block (CHB), is caused by a cardiac conduction system disease or damage resulting in no conduction through the atrioventricular node (AVN), leading to complete dissociation of ...

Electrical Conduction System Remodeling in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetes Mellitus Rat Heart
Cardiovascular complications are common in type 1 diabetes mellitus (TIDM) and there is an increased risk of arrhythmias as a result of dysfunction of the cardiac conduction system (CCS). We have previously shown that, in vivo, there is a decrease in the
