Systematic comparison of non-invasive measures for the assessment of atrial fibrillation complexity: a step forward towards standardization of atrial fibrillation electrogram analysis

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

Aims To present a comparison of electrocardiogram-based non-invasive measures of atrial fibrillation (AF) substrate complexity computed on invasive animal recordings to discriminate between short-term and long-term AF. The final objective is the selection ...

Performance Comparison of Ultrasound-Based Methods to Assess Aortic Diameter and Stiffness in Normal and Aneurysmal Mice

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Bram Trachet, Patrick Segers

Objective Several ultrasound-based methods are currently used to assess aortic diameter, circumferential strain and stiffness in mice, but none of them is flawless and a gold standard is lacking. We aimed to assess the validity and sensitivity of these met ...

Modeling the fluid dynamics of the heart: from blood flows in idealized left ventricles to patient-specific aortic valve simulations

Alfio Quarteroni, Simone Deparis, Luca Dede', Davide Forti, Elena Faggiano, Anna Tagliabue, Marco Fedele

The computational fluid dynamics of the heart represents a challenging task both in terms of mathematical and numerical modeling; this is mainly due to the pulsatile nature of the blood flow, to its complex interaction with the valves, and, more in general ...

Single breath-hold 3D measurement of left atrial volume using compressed sensing cardiovascular magnetic resonance and a non-model-based reconstruction approach

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Orestis Vardoulis, Janine Schwitter

Background: Left atrial (LA) dilatation is associated with a large variety of cardiac diseases. Current cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) strategies to measure LA volumes are based on multi-breath-hold multi-slice acquisitions, which are time-consumi ...

Development of Implantable Electrodes Based on Polymer Derived Ceramics

Jonas Grossenbacher

The invention of heart pacemakers in the 50's aims to help patients to overcome heart strokes, which represent the first cause of death worldwide. In Europe and in the USA, more than 3000 pacemakers are implanted every day. Despite the constant evolution o ...

MATHICSE Technical Report : Isogeometric approximation of cardiac electrophysiology models on surfaces: an accuracy study with application to the human left atrium

Alfio Quarteroni, Luca Dede', Toni Mikael Lassila, Andrea Bartezzaghi, Alessandro Samuele Patelli

We consider Isogeometric Analysis in the framework of the Galerkin method for the spatial approximation of cardiac electrophysiology models defined on NURBS surfaces; specifically, we perform a numerical comparison between basis functions of degree p≥1and ...

Estimation of Divergence-Free 3D Cardiac Blood Flow in a Zebrafish Larva Using Multi-View Microscopy

Michael Stefan Daniel Liebling

Conventional fluid flow estimation methods for in vivo optical microscopy are limited to two-dimensions and are only able to estimate the components of flow parallel to the imaging plane. This limits the study of flow in more intricate biological structure ...

Isogeometric Analysis of Electrophysiological Models on Surfaces

Alessandro Samuele Patelli

In this project we numerically simulate electrophysiological models for cardiac applications by means of Isogeometric Analysis. Specifically, we aim at understanding the advantages of using high order continuous NURBS (Non-UniformRational B-Splines) basis ...

Computational generation of the Purkinje network driven by clinical measurements: The case of pathological propagations

Alfio Quarteroni, Fabio Nobile, Christian Vergara, Elena Faggiano

To properly describe the electrical activity of the left ventricle, it is necessary to model the Purkinje fibers, responsible for the fast and coordinate ventricular activation, and their interaction with the muscular propagation. The aim of this work is t ...

Thermodynamically consistent orthotropic activation model capturing ventricular systolic wall thickening in cardiac electromechanics

Alfio Quarteroni, Ricardo Esteban Ruiz Baier, Toni Mikael Lassila, Simone Rossi, Adélia Sequeira

The complex phenomena underlying mechanical contraction of cardiac cells and their influence in the dynamics of ventricular contraction are extremely important in understanding the overall function of the heart. In this paper we generalize previous contrib ...
