Dynamics of Intraprocedural Dominant Frequency Identifies Ablation Outcome in Persistent Atrial Fibrillation

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

Background: The role of dominant frequency (DF) in tracking the efficiency of a stepwise catheter ablation (step-CA) in persistent atrial fibrillation (peAF) remains poorly studied. We hypothesized that the DF time-course during step-CA displays divergent ...

Severe and uniform bi-atrial remodeling measured by dominant frequency analysis in persistent atrial fibrillation unresponsive to ablation

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

Background High values of ECG and intracardiac dominant frequency (DF) are indicative of significant atrial remodeling in persistent atrial fibrillation (peAF). We hypothesized that patients with peAF unresponsive to ablation display higher ECG and intraca ...

A Non-linear Filter to Detect Atrial Activation from Intracardiac Electrograms

Jean-Marc Vesin, Sasan Yazdani, Andréa Buttu, Etienne Pruvot

Atrial activation (AA) detection during atrial fibrillation (AF) can be considered as a first step in estimating AF characteristics such as the AF cycle length. The detection of AA from intracardiac electrograms (EGM) remains challenging due to the constan ...

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 ...

Extracting Atrial Activations from Intracardiac Signals during Atrial Fibrillation using Adaptive Mathematical Morphology

Jean-Marc Vesin, Sasan Yazdani, Andréa Buttu, Etienne Pruvot

The detection of intracardiac activities is a major issue in the processing of atrial fibrillation signals. we evaluate a method based on mathematical morphology with an adaptive structuring element in order to extract the atrial activations from intracard ...

Novel ECG and Intracardiac Electrograms Signal Processing Schemes for Predicting the Outcome of Atrial Fibrillation Catheter Ablation

Andréa Buttu

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common encountered cardiac rhythm disorder (arrhythmia) in clinical practice. It is responsible for about one third of arrhythmia-related hospitalizations. This arrhythmia, which increases in prevalence with age, leads ...

Sleep Apnea Detection using Features from the Respiration and the ECG recorded with Smart-Shirts

Jean-Marc Vesin, Leila Mirmohamadsadeghi, Andréa Buttu, Grégoire Millet, Sibylle Fallet

The automatic detection of sleep apnea episodes, without the need of polysomnography and outside a clinical facility, could help facilitate the diagnosis of this disorder. In this work, features to detect sleep apnea events were computed from respiration a ...

Measures of Right Atrial Organization as a Mean to Select Candidates for Sinus Rhythm Restoration by Catheter Ablation

Jean-Marc Vesin, Andréa Buttu, Etienne Pruvot

Stepwise catheter ablation (step-CA) can terminate long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (LS-pAF) within the left atrium (LA) or may require additional right atrial (RA) ablation. Intracardiac organization indices such as AF cycle length (AFCL) have ...
