Smart Humans... WannaDie? [PDF]
It won't be long until our prostheses, ECG personal monitors, subcutaneous insulin infusors, glasses, etc. become devices of the Internet of Things (IoT), always connected for monitoring, maintenance, charging and tracking.

Towards the Emulation of the Cardiac Conduction System for Pacemaker Testing [PDF]
The heart is a vital organ that relies on the orchestrated propagation of electrical stimuli to coordinate each heart beat. Abnormalities in the heart's electrical behaviour can be managed with a cardiac pacemaker. Recently, the closed-loop testing of pacemakers with an emulation (real-time simulation) of the heart has been proposed.

Analysis of Heterogeneous Cardiac Pacemaker Tissue Models and Traveling Wave Dynamics [PDF]
The sinoatrial-node (SAN) is a complex heterogeneous tissue that generates a stable rhythm in healthy hearts, yet a general mechanistic explanation for when and how this tissue remains stable is lacking. Although computational and theoretical analyses could elucidate these phenomena, such methods have rarely been used in realistic (large-dimensional ...

New Insights into Pacing Induced Cardiomyopathy
Pacing induced cardiomyopathy (PICM) can occur as a complication due to pacing the right ventricle. Its precise definition varies across different studies, leading to uncertainty as to the best approach for managing this entity. More than 10% of patients

A model of cardiac tissue as a conductive system with interacting pacemakers and refractory time [PDF]
A model of the heart tissue as a conductive system with two interacting pacemakers and a refractory time, is proposed. In the parametric space of the model the phase locking areas are investigated in detail. Obtained results allow us to predict the behaviour of excitable systems with two pacemakers depending on the type and intensity of their ...

Superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome is typically dramatic. Although the diagnosis is usually easy, elucidation of the etiology is difficult. We present a patient who developed SVC syndrome early after transvenous pacemaker implantation and who was ...
