Implementation and Calibration of a Deep Neural Network to Predict Parameters of Left Ventricular Systolic Function Based on Pulmonary and Systemic Arterial Pressure Signals

Simone Deparis, Luca Pegolotti, Jean Bonnemain

The evaluation of cardiac contractility by the assessment of the ventricular systolic elastance function is clinically challenging and cannot be easily obtained at the bedside. In this work, we present a framework characterizing left ventricular systolic f ...

Noninvasive Cardiac Output and Central Systolic Pressure From Cuff-Pressure and Pulse Wave Velocity

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Bram Trachet, Vasiliki Bikia, Stamatia Zoi Pagoulatou

Goal: We introduce a novel approach to estimate cardiac output (CO) and central systolic blood pressure (cSBP) from noninvasive measurements of peripheral cuff-pressure and carotid-to-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV). Methods: The adjustment of a previ ...

Non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring by electrical impedance tomography

Martin Proença

The monitoring of central hemodynamic parameters such as cardiac output (CO) and pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) is of paramount clinical importance to assess the health status of the cardiovascular system. However, their measurement requires the insertion ...

A Variable Stiffness Catheter Controlled with an External Magnetic Field

Dario Floreano, Alice Tonazzini

Remote magnetic navigation of catheters is a technique used to perform radiofrequency ablation of heart tissue in order to treat cardiac arrhythmias. The flexible magnetic catheters used in this context are in some cases not sufficiently dexterous to navig ...

Thin films for Healthcare Acquired Infections (HAIs) prevention : materials preparation, testing and characterization

Sami Rtimi

This thesis addresses the preparation of antibacterial surfaces for hospital facilities taking biomedical thin polymer films, textiles and catheter as probes. Magnetron sputtering is used to apply the coatings leading to fast bacterial inactivation in the ...

In Vitro and In Vivo Effectiveness of an Innovative Silver-Copper Nanoparticle Coating of Catheters To Prevent Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Infection

César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Sami Rtimi, Myriam Koumba Sarah Ballo

In this study, silver/copper (Ag/Cu)-coated catheters were investigated for their efficacy in preventing methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection in vitro and in vivo. Ag and Cu were sputtered (67/33% atomic ratio) on polyurethane cathe ...

Metal artefact reduction in computed tomography images by a fourth-order total variation flow

Alfio Quarteroni, Elena Faggiano

Permanent metallic implants, such as dental fillings and cardiac devices, generate streaks-like artefacts in computed tomography (CT) images. In this article, we propose a strategy to perform metal artefact reduction (MAR) that relies on the total variatio ...

Nonlinear analysis of right atrial electrograms predicts termination of persistent atrial fibrillation within the left atrium by catheter ablation

Jean-Marc Vesin, Adrian Luca, Andréa Buttu, Etienne Pruvot

The termination of long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (LS-pAF) can be achieved by stepwise catheter ablation (step-CA) within the left atrium (LA). Our study aims to applying complexity measures derived from nonlinear time series analysis in orde ...
