Rhythm control and cardioversion [PDF]
The three main aims of treatment for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation are: (1) to suppress paroxysms of atrial fibrillation and maintain long-term sinus rhythm; (2) to control heart rate during paroxysms of atrial fibrillation if they occur; and (3) to prevent the complications associated with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation—that is, stroke and ...

Controllable Biological Rhythms and Patterns
One of the goals of soft robotics is to implement intelligent functions capable of processing complex information in soft materials. This is a noble goal, and we already have a familiar example, albeit not an artificial one, in a living organism. We believe that the intelligent biological elements acquired through the evolutionary process, which do not
