Full Spectral Analysis of the Atrial Components in the ECG during Atrial Fibrillation

Clinical standard 12-lead ECG recordings over 5 minutes on patients in atrial fibrillation or in atrial flutter were analyzed. After suppression of the signal components related to ventricular activity, the amplitude spectra of all leads were inspected. Th ...

Data processing techniques for the characterization of atrial fibrillation

Mathieu Lemay

Atrial fibrillation is the most common sustained cardiac rhythm disturbance, increasing in prevalence with age. During the past 20 years, there has been a 66% increase in hospital admissions related to atrial fibrillation. Neither the natural history of at ...

Modélisation mécanique de fils pour la simulation chirurgicale

Lindo Robert Duratti

Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) represents one of the major progresses in surgery in the last decade. In general, it is based on the application of small body-cuts through which instruments are inserted into the patient's body allowing the surgeon to carr ...

Adaptive Frequency Tracking on the ECG Used to Predict the Success of Electrical Cardioversion of Atrial Fibrillation

Jean-Marc Vesin, Mathieu Lemay, Yann Prudat, Frank Grégoire Jean de Morsier

One of the rhythm control strategies in atrial fibrillation management consists in the application of a brief single electrical shock to the atria. This electrical cardioversion does not always succeed, and the long-term success of this therapy is not suff ...

A biophysical model of atrial fibrillation ablation: what can a surgeon learn from a computer model?

Lam Dang, Etienne Pruvot, Lukas Kappenberger

Aims Surgical ablation procedures for treating atrial. fibrillation have been shown to be highly successful. However, the ideal ablation pattern still remains to be determined. This article reports on a systematic study of the effectiveness of the performa ...

Adaptation of the standard 12-lead electrocardiogram system dedicated to the analysis of atrial fibrillation

Vincent Jacquemet, Zenichi Ihara

Objective: The objective of the study was to design a lead system aimed at studying atrial fibrillation (AF), while being anchored to the standard 12-lead system. Methods: The location of 4 of the 6 precordial electrodes was optimized while leaving the rem ...

Vectorcardiographic lead systems for the characterization of atrial fibrillation

Vincent Jacquemet, Zenichi Ihara

Objective: To design a VCG lead system dedicated to the analysis of atrial fibrillation. Methods: Body surface potentials during atrial fibrillation were simulated by using a biophysical model of the human atria and thorax. The XYZ components of the equiva ...

An investigation into therapies for atrial arrythmias using a biophysical model of the human atria

Lam Dang

The most common type of sustained arrhythmia is atrial fibrillation (AF), affecting about 2% of the general population and 8% to 11% of the elderly, more than 65 years of age. The treatment of atrial arrythmia is still based on empirical considerations and ...

Design and performance of lead systems for the analysis of atrial signal components in the ECG

Zenichi Ihara

For over a century, electrocardiology has been observing human cardiac activity through recordings of electrocardiograms (ECG). The potential differences derived from the nine electrodes of the standard 12-lead ECG, placed at their designated positions, ar ...
