Novel spatiotemporal processing tools for body-surface potential map signals for the prediction of catheter ablation outcome in persistent atrial fibrillation

Jean-Marc Vesin, Adrian Luca, Etienne Pruvot

Background: Signal processing tools are required to efficiently analyze data collected in body-surface-potential map (BSPM) recordings. A limited number of such tools exist for studying persistent atrial fibrillation (persAF). We propose two novel, spatiot ...

ECG-Based Indices to Characterize Persistent Atrial Fibrillation Before and During Stepwise Catheter Ablation

Jean-Marc Vesin, Adrian Luca, Etienne Pruvot

Background: Consistently successful patient outcomes following catheter ablation (CA) for treatment of persistent atrial fibrillation (pers-AF) remain elusive. We propose an electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis designed to (1) refine selection of patients most ...

Ventricular response regularity in atrial fibrillation and its relationship to successful catheter ablation

Jean-Marc Vesin, Adrian Luca, Etienne Pruvot

Atrial rate is known to modulate ventricular response during atrial fibrillation (AF). The resulting pulse irregularity translates into widely varying inter-beat intervals (IBIs) extracted from recorded surface electrocardiogram (ECG) activity. In AF, the ...

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 ...

Generic DSP-based Implantable Body Sensor Node

Léandre Bolomey

To improve health, to help to manage chronical disease and to provide equal access to healthcare, continuous monitoring of physiological parameter associated to telemedicine is mandatory. In this perspective Body Sensor Networks concept has emerged. It inc ...

Temperature Monitoring During Tissue Freezing Using Ultrasound Speed Measurements

Martin Vetterli, Ali Hormati, Ivana Jovanovic

A major limitation of thermal therapies is the lack of detailed thermal information needed to monitor the therapy. Temperatures are routinely measured invasively with thermocouples, but only sparse measurements can be made. Ultrasound tomography is an attr ...

The effect of a myocardial infarction on the normalized time-varying elastance curve

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Rafaela Fernandes Da Silva, David Jegger

It has been suggested that the shape of the normalized time-varying elastance curve [E(n)(t(n))] is conserved in different cardiac pathologies. We hypothesize, however, that the E(n)(t(n)) differs quantitatively after myocardial infarction (MI). Sprague-Da ...

Noninvasive Doppler-derived myocardial performance index in rats with myocardial infarction: validation and correlation by conductance catheter

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, David Jegger, Patrick Segers

The rodent model of myocardial infarction (MI) is extensively used in heart failure studies. However, long-term follow-up of echocardiographic left ventricular (LV) function parameters such as the myocardial performance index (MPI) and its ratio with the f ...
