Early Classification of Pathological Heartbeats on Wireless Body Sensor Nodes

David Atienza Alonso, Giovanni Ansaloni, Ruben Braojos Lopez, Ivan Beretta

Smart Wireless Body Sensor Nodes (WBSNs) are a novel class of unobtrusive, battery-powered devices allowing the continuous monitoring and real-time interpretation of a subject's bio-signals, such as the electrocardiogram (ECG). These low-power platforms, w ...

MDPI2014

Background-For reasons that remain unclear, whether type 5 adenylyl cyclase (AC5), 1 of 2 major AC isoforms in heart, is protective or deleterious in response to cardiac stress is controversial. To reconcile this controversy we examined the cardiomyopathy ...

A Methodology for Embedded Classification of Heartbeats Using Random Projections

David Atienza Alonso, Giovanni Ansaloni, Ruben Braojos Lopez

Smart Wireless Body Sensor Nodes (WBSNs) are a novel class of unobtrusive, battery-powered devices allowing the continuous monitoring and real-time interpretation of a subject’s bio-signals. One of its most relevant applications is the acquisition and anal ...

TIE2-expressing monocytes/macrophages regulate revascularization of the ischemic limb

Michele De Palma, Daniela Biziato

A third of patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) will eventually require limb amputation. Therapeutic neovascularization using unselected mononuclear cells to salvage ischemic limbs has produced modest results. The TIE2-expressing monocytes/macrophage ...

Selective in vivo visualization of immune-cell infiltration in a mouse model of autoimmune myocarditis by fluorine-19 cardiac magnetic resonance

Ruud van Heeswijk

Background- The goal of this study was to characterize the performance of fluorine-19 ((19)F) cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) for the specific detection of inflammatory cells in a mouse model of myocarditis. Intravenously administered perfluorocarbons are ...

Cardiac and Skeletal Muscle Defects in a Mouse Model of Human Barth Syndrome

Richardus Houtkooper

Barth syndrome is an X-linked genetic disorder caused by mutations in the tafazzin (taz) gene and characterized by dilated cardiomyopathy, exercise intolerance, chronic fatigue, delayed growth, and neutropenia. Tafazzin is a mitochondrial transacylase requ ...

Intracardiac organization indices for the monitoring of atrial fibrillation

Sarah Volorio

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia observed in clinical practice. It is responsible for about one third of hospitalizations related to problems of arrhythmia. AF is an important clinical entity due to the increased risk of morbidity and ...

Harmonic frequency tracking algorithm for predicting the success of pharmacological cardioversion of atrial fibrillation

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

Purpose: Non-invasively predicting the success of pharmacological cardioversion for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) would be of great interest in clinical settings. In this study, an adaptive algorithm for tracking fundamental and harmonic component ...

Fate of undifferentiated mouse embryonic stem cells within the rat heart: role of myocardial infarction and immune suppression

Jian Li, Qing He

It has recently been suggested that the infarcted rat heart microenvironment could direct pluripotent mouse embryonic stem cells to differentiate into cardiomyocytes through an in situ paracrine action. To investigate whether the heart can function as a ca ...
