1/f Scaling in Heart Rate Requires Antagonistic Autonomic Control [PDF]
, 2004 We present the first systematic evidence for the origins of 1/f-type temporal scaling in human heart rate. The heart rate is regulated by the activity of two branches of the autonomic nervous system: the parasympathetic (PNS) and the sympathetic (SNS) nervous systems.

Heart rate and blood pressure monitoring in heart failure. [PDF]
, 2019 It has been long known that incessant tachycardia and severe hypertension can cause heart failure (HF). In recent years, it has also been recognized that more modest elevations in either heart rate (HR) or blood pressure (BP), if sustained, can be a risk

Automated Identification of Drug-Drug Interactions in Pediatric Congestive Heart Failure Patients [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Congestive Heart Failure, or CHF, is a serious medical condition that can result in fluid buildup in the body as a result of a weak heart. When the heart can't pump enough blood to efficiently deliver nutrients and oxygen to the body, kidney function may be impaired, resulting in fluid retention.

Quantification of Trabeculae Inside the Heart from MRI Using Fractal Analysis [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) is a rare cardiomyopathy (CMP) that should be considered as a possible diagnosis because of its potential complications which are heart failure, ventricular arrhythmias, and embolic events. For analysis cardiac functionality, extracting information from the Left ventricular (LV) is already a broad field of Medical

B-type natriuretic peptide-guided treatment for heart failure [PDF]
, 2016 Background Heart failure is a condition in which the heart does not pump enough blood to meet all the needs of the body. Symptoms of heart failure include breathlessness, fatigue and fluid retention.

Using Natural Language Processing to Screen Patients with Active Heart Failure: An Exploration for Hospital-wide Surveillance [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 In this paper, we proposed two different approaches, a rule-based approach and a machine-learning based approach, to identify active heart failure cases automatically by analyzing electronic health records (EHR). For the rule-based approach, we extracted cardiovascular data elements from clinical notes and matched patients to different colors according

Advanced MRI for cardiac assessment in mice [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Heart failure is a leading cause of mortality in the Western world. The mouse is a widely used model for a number of diseases, induced by genetic modification or surgical intervention. When performing experiments in mice, in vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used to evaluate heart anatomy and function at multiple levels.

Giant cell myocarditis masquerading as orbital myositis with a rapid, fulminant course necessitating mechanical support and heart transplantation. [PDF]
, 2017 Giant cell myocarditis (GCM), a rapidly progressive inflammation of the myocardium, is associated with fulminant heart failure, refractory ventricular arrhythmias, and conduction system abnormalities.

Management of Mechanical Ventilation in Decompensated Heart Failure. [PDF]
, 2016 Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a life-saving intervention for respiratory failure, including decompensated congestive heart failure. MV can reduce ventricular preload and afterload, decrease extra-vascular lung water, and decrease the work of breathing ...

Patients' self-assessed functional status in heart failure by New York Heart Association class: a prognostic predictor of hospitalizations, quality of life and death. [PDF]
, 2010 BACKGROUND: Clinician-assigned New York Heart Association (NYHA) class is an established predictor of outcomes in heart failure. This study aims to test whether patients' self-assessment of functional status by NYHA class predicts hospital admissions ...
