Markers for risk to develop atrial fibrillation based on a new electrocardiographic tool

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most important trigger for heart failure and stroke. Reliable methods for predicting AF are lacking and ECG analysis could improve this process. P-wave characteristics in the ECG are an important source of information in the ...

Helical flows and asymmetry of blood jet in dilated ascending aorta with normally functioning bicuspid valve

Alfio Quarteroni, Christian Vergara, Elena Faggiano

Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is associated with aortic dilatation and aneurysm. Several studies evidenced an eccentric systolic flow in ascending aorta associated with increased wall shear stresses (WSS) and the occurrence of an helical systolic flow. This ...

Kinetics of Atrial Repolarization Alternans in a Free-Behaving Ovine Model

Jean-Marc Vesin, Florian Jousset, Etienne Pruvot

Kinetics of Atrial Repolarization Alternans. Introduction: Repolarization alternans (Re-ALT), a beat-to-beat alternation in action potential repolarization, promotes dispersion of repolarization, wavebreaks, and reentry. Recently, Re-ALT has been shown to ...

Novel complexity measurements in the ECG differentiate persistent from permanent atrial fibrillation

Jean-Marc Vesin, Laurent Renaud Uldry, Jérôme Sébastien Van Zaen, Lukas Kappenberger

Purpose: Distinguishing persistent from permanent atrial fibrillation (AF) in a reliable way would improve AF patient management, as cardioversion options could be considered appropriately. In this study, complexity measures based on the combined analysis ...

Decreased Excitability as a Protective Mechanism Against Repolarization Alternans-Induced Atrial Reentry

Jean-Marc Vesin, Florian Jousset, Etienne Pruvot

Introduction: We recently observed in human left atrium periods of intermittent 2:1 and 1:1 atrial capture, preceded by atrial repolarization alternans (Re-ALT) during rapid pacing. It remains undetermined whether Re- ALT plays a role in preventing 1:1 atr ...

In-Vivo Measurements of Atrial Repolarization Alternans Based on Standard Pacemaker Technology

Jean-Marc Vesin, Florian Jousset, Etienne Pruvot

Introduction: It has been shown that repolarization alternans (Re-ALT), a beat-to-beat alternation in action potential duration, enhances dispersion of repolarization DOR above a critical heart rate and promotes susceptibility to ventricular arrhythmias. I ...

The relationship between the irradiation induced damage and the mechanical properties of single crystal Ni

Zhongwen Yao

Irradiation is known to lead to a degradation of the mechanical properties of materials. This is particularly crucial in the case of materials that will be used in the future thermonuclear fusion reactor, where extremely high irradiation doses are expected ...

Temporal lobe epilepsy and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS)

Olaf Blanke

We describe a 20-year-old woman suffering from right temporal epilepsy, behavioral disorder, and a complaint of paroxysmal palpitations accompanied by anxiety. Detailed cardiac evaluation revealed that the palpitations were due to episodes of marked sinus ...
