Physical activity is associated with an increased risk of sudden death for individuals with an undiagnosed cardiovascular disease. Medical evaluations, including a resting electrocardiogram, conducted before and during physical training, enable the ...

VFPred: A Fusion of Signal Processing and Machine Learning techniques in Detecting Ventricular Fibrillation from ECG Signals [PDF]
Ventricular Fibrillation (VF), one of the most dangerous arrhythmias, is responsible for sudden cardiac arrests. Thus, various algorithms have been developed to predict VF from Electrocardiogram (ECG), which is a binary classification problem. In the literature, we find a number of algorithms based on signal processing, where, after some robust ...

Role of Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators in the Treatment of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an important cardiovascular disease with sudden cardiac death as the most devastating presentation. Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) are the optimal therapy for prevention of sudden death from ventricular

Sudden Cardiac Arrest in a Young Patient with Severe Pectus Excavatum [PDF]
We report a case of sudden cardiac arrest in the setting of ventricular fibrillation in a previously healthy 19-year-old male. Chest imaging demonstrated severe pectus excavatum with Pectus Severity Index of 22.7.

Cerebellar Haemorrhage Leading to Sudden Cardiac Arrest
Abstract Introduction Intracranial haemorrhage (ICH) is a known, but a rare cause of out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). It results in the development of non-shockable rhythms such as asystole or pulseless electrical activity (PEA). Case Report

Robust Defibrillator Deployment Under Cardiac Arrest Location Uncertainty via Row-and-Column Generation [PDF]
Sudden cardiac arrest is a significant public health concern. Successful treatment of cardiac arrest is extremely time sensitive, and use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) where possible significantly increases the probability of survival. Placement of AEDs in public locations can improve survival by enabling bystanders to treat victims of ...

Optimal allocation of defibrillator drones in mountainous regions [PDF]
Responding to emergencies in Alpine terrain is quite challenging as air ambulances and mountain rescue services are often confronted with logistics challenges and adverse weather conditions that extend the response times required to provide life-saving support.

A Cross-Platform Mobile Application for Ambulance CPR during Cardiac Arrests [PDF]
This paper describes the implementation of a crossplatform software application to aid ambulance paramedics during CPR (Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation). It must be able to work both on iOS and Android devices, which are the leading platforms in the mobile industry.

Background It is believed that most sudden cardiac arrests (SCAs) in young people occur in previously healthy people with rare risk factors for sudden death. Few studies have investigated large populations with complete ascertainment.

Electrophysiologic Considerations After Sudden Cardiac Arrest [PDF]
Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD) remains a major public health concern, accounting for more than 50% of cardiac deaths. The majority of these deaths are related to ischemic heart disease, however increasingly recognized are non-ischemic causes such as cardiac channelopathies.
