Cardiopulmonary resuscitation quality parameters from motion capture data using Differential Evolution fitting of sinusoids [PDF]
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is alongside electrical defibrillation the most crucial countermeasure for sudden cardiac arrest, which affects thousands of individuals every year. In this paper, we present a novel approach including sinusoid models that use skeletal motion data from an RGB-D (Kinect) sensor and the Differential Evolution (DE ...

Accelerometry-based classification of circulatory states during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest [PDF]
Objective: Exploit accelerometry data for an automatic, reliable, and prompt detection of spontaneous circulation during cardiac arrest, as this is both vital for patient survival and practically challenging. Methods: We developed a machine learning algorithm to automatically predict the circulatory state during cardiopulmonary resuscitation from 4 ...

Unexplained cardiac arrest after near drowning in a young experienced swimmer: insight from cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging [PDF]
Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI) is a well-established noninvasive imaging modality in clinical cardiology. Its ability to provide tissue characterization make it well suited for the study of patients with cardiac diseases.

Analysis of cardiac symptoms preceding cardiac arrest [PDF]
Prodromal symptoms and cardiac history were examined in 227 patients with coronary artery disease who were successfully resuscitated after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Cardiac arrest was sudden--with either no symptoms or symptoms for less than 1 hour-

Novel Approaches for Predicting Risk Factors of Atherosclerosis [PDF]
Coronary heart disease (CHD) caused by hardening of artery walls due to cholesterol known as atherosclerosis is responsible for large number of deaths world-wide. The disease progression is slow, asymptomatic and may lead to sudden cardiac arrest, stroke or myocardial infraction.

Same family, same mutation, different ECG
This case shows ECG differences may also occur between family members who have the same gene mutation due to long QT syndrome. Abstract Background Different types of long QT syndromes (LQTS) have distinct ECG manifestations according to the type and magnitude of ion channel dysfunction.
