Mechano-electrical contribution of ventricular contractions to the complexity of atrial fibrillation electrograms

Jean-Marc Vesin, Andréa Buttu, Etienne Pruvot, Sarah Volorio

Purpose: Intracardiac organization indices (OI) have been used to track the efficiency of stepwise radiofrequency catheter ablation (step-CA) of persistent atrial fibrillation (pers-AF). A better understanding of the components and complexity of AF electro ...

Engineering of living autologous human umbilical cord cell-based septal occluder membranes using composite PGA-P4HB matrices

Peter Modregger, Marco Stampanoni

Interventional closure of intracardiac wall defects using occluder devices has evolved as a highly attractive treatment option. However, incomplete and delayed healing reactions often result in a major risk of residual defects, thromboembolism, or device f ...

Intrinsic defect complexes in CdTe and ZnTe

Alexandra Sarabando de Carvalho

Radiation defects in CdTe and ZnTe are modeled from first principles. The most important intrinsic defects resulting from cation evaporation or displacement are cation vacancies and tellurium anti-sites, electrically active defects characterized by a low f ...

Bio Simulation of Brain Ventricle Dilation in Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus

Kamal Shahim

Hydrocephalus is a brain disease wherein the ventricles dilate and compress the parenchyma towards the skull. It is primarily characterized by the disruption of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow within the ventricular system. Normal pressure hydrocephalus ...

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 ...

Regional cortical volumes and congenital heart disease: a MRI study in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Maude Schneider, Marie Schaer

Children with congenital heart disease (CHD) who survive surgery often present impaired neurodevelopment and qualitative brain anomalies. However, the impact of CHD on total or regional brain volumes only received little attention. We address this question ...

Individualization of transfer function in estimation of central aortic pressure from the peripheral pulse is not required in patients at rest

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Nico Westerhof

Central aortic pressure gives better insight into ventriculo-arterial coupling and better prognosis of cardiovascular complications than peripheral pressures. Therefore transfer functions (TF), reconstructing aortic pressure from peripheral pressures, are ...

SOST expression is restricted to the great arteries during embryonic and neonatal cardiovascular development

Michel Aguet

Spatial-temporal regulation of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) and Wnt activity is essential for normal cardiovascular development, and altered activity of these growth factors causes maldevelopment of the cardiac outflow tract and great arteries. In the ...

Beta-catenin downregulation is required for adaptive cardiac remodeling

The armadillo-related protein beta-catenin has multiple functions in cardiac tissue homeostasis: stabilization of beta-catenin has been implicated in adult cardiac hypertrophy, and downregulation initiates heart formation in embryogenesis. The protein is a ...

Direct regulation of Gata3 expression determines the T helper differentiation potential of Notch

Freddy Radtke

CD4(+) T helper cells differentiate into T helper 1 (Th1) or Th2 effector lineages, which orchestrate immunity to different types of microbes. Both Th1 and Th2 differentiation can be induced by Notch, but what dictates which of these programs is activated ...
