Background: Patent ductus arteriosus is a life-threatening condition frequent in premature newborns but also present in some term infants. Current mouse models of this malformation generally lead to perinatal death, not reproducing the full phenotypic spec ...
The outcome of stepwise catheter ablation (step-CA) for patients (pts) with long-standing atrial fibrillation (LS-pAF) is poorly predicted by classical organization indices (OI). Our study aims at developing new indices from pre-ablation ECG in order to id ...
A computer model for simulating pressure and flow propagation in the human arterial system is developed. The model is based on the one-dimensional flow equations and includes nonlinearities arising from geometry and material properties. Fifty-five arterial ...
BACKGROUND: The use of left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) to treat advanced cardiac heart failure is constantly increasing, although this device leads to high risk for gastrointestinal bleeding. METHODS: Using in-silico flow analysis, we quantified he ...

Previously, we found evidence that bisferiens peaks in the radial artery pressure wave in the newborn infant may suggest the presence of a left-to-right shunt through a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). The purpose of the present study was to analyze the ori ...
As a part of 2016 Physionet/CinC callenge, this work aims at the detection of abnormal phonocardiogram (PCG) recordings. Heart sound signal analysis has been an active research topic over the past decades with various studies such as heart sound segmentati ...
Pulsations in the fetal heart propagate through the precordial vein and the ductus venosus but are normally not transmitted into the umbilical vein. Pulsations in the umbilical vein do occur, however, in early pregnancy and in pathological conditions. Such ...
Numerous studies have provided evidence of diameter adaptation secondary to flow-overload. but with ambiguous findings vis a vis other morphological parameters and information on the biomechanical aspects of arterial adaptation is rather incomplete. We exa ...
