Combination of frequency-and time-domain characteristics of the fibrillatory waves for enhanced prediction of persistent atrial fibrillation recurrence after catheter ablation [PDF]
Heliyon 2024(3)Catheter ablation (CA) remains the cornerstone alternative to cardioversion for sinus rhythm (SR) restoration in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Unfortunately, despite the last methodological and technological advances, this procedure is not consistently effective in treating persistent AF.

PhysRFANet: Physics-Guided Neural Network for Real-Time Prediction of Thermal Effect During Radiofrequency Ablation Treatment [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a widely used minimally invasive technique for ablating solid tumors. Achieving precise personalized treatment necessitates feedback information on in situ thermal effects induced by the RFA procedure. While computer simulation facilitates the prediction of electrical and thermal phenomena associated with RFA, its ...
