Terminating ventricular tachycardia by pacing induced dynamical inhomogeneities in the reentry circuit [PDF]
Formation of feedback loops of excitation waves (reentrant circuit) around non-conducting ventricular scar tissue is a common cause of lethal cardiac arrhythmias, such as ventricular tachycardia. This is typically treated by rapid stimulation from an implantable device (ICD). However, the mechanisms of reentry termination success and, more importantly,

Catheter Ablation of Tachyarrhythmias in Small Children [PDF]
An estimated 80,000-100,000 radiofrequency ablation (RFA) procedures are performed in the United States each year.1 Approximately 1% of these are performed on pediatric patients at centers that contribute data to the Pediatric Radiofrequency Registry.2 ...

Implementation of Neural Network and feature extraction to classify ECG signals [PDF]
This paper presents a suitable and efficient implementation of a feature extraction algorithm (Pan Tompkins algorithm) on electrocardiography (ECG) signals, for detection and classification of four cardiac diseases: Sleep Apnea, Arrhythmia, Supraventricular Arrhythmia and Long Term Atrial Fibrillation (AF) and differentiating them from the normal heart

Influence of Atrioventricular Nodal Reentrant Tachycardia Ablation on Right to Left Inter-atrial Conduction [PDF]
Background: Radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation is the procedure of choice for the potential cure of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) with high success rates.

Time series kernel similarities for predicting Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation from ECGs [PDF]
We tackle the problem of classifying Electrocardiography (ECG) signals with the aim of predicting the onset of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation (PAF). Atrial fibrillation is the most common type of arrhythmia, but in many cases PAF episodes are asymptomatic.
