Cardiac monitoringCardiac monitoring generally refers to continuous or intermittent monitoring of heart activity to assess a patient's condition relative to their cardiac rhythm. Cardiac monitoring is usually carried out using electrocardiography, which is a noninvasive process that records the heart's electrical activity and displays it in an electrocardiogram. It is different from hemodynamic monitoring, which monitors the pressure and flow of blood within the cardiovascular system. The two may be performed simultaneously on critical heart patients.
ÉchocardiographieL'échocardiographie ou échographie cardiaque ou écho-doppler cardiaque est une échographie du cœur. Il s'agit d'une technique d' employant les ultrasons. L'échocardiographie a rapidement trouvé sa place parmi les applications médicales des ultrasons. Elle est de manière courante couplée à un examen doppler : on parle alors déchographie-doppler cardiaque. L’échocardiogramme correspond aux images réalisées. L’échocardiographe est l'appareil permettant de réaliser une échocardiographie.
Fréquence de coupureLa fréquence de coupure d'un circuit électronique est la fréquence limite de fonctionnement utile d'un circuit électronique. La pulsation de coupure est la pulsation correspondante. Les fréquences de coupure basse et haute définissent la bande passante. Conventionnellement, cette limite est souvent fixée à la fréquence pour laquelle la puissance de sortie est réduite de moitié, pour un signal d'entrée de même amplitude, par rapport à la puissance de sortie à la fréquence de référence.
Stéthoscopethumb|Un stéthoscope de modèle courant. Un stéthoscope (du grec stêthos (στῆθος), « poitrine », et scope du grec ancien skopein (σκοπεϊν), « observer ») est un instrument acoustique, servant principalement dans le domaine médical ou vétérinaire (du moins pour les animaux d'une certaine taille), pour l'auscultation, c’est-à-dire l'écoute des sons internes du corps. Mais il peut être aussi employé dans d'autres domaines, notamment pour l'identification et la localisation d'un bruit dans un objet, un appareil ou une installation.
Technologie portablethumb|Montres connectées Une technologie portable ou technologie mettable (de l'anglais wearable technology, appelée également habitronique) est un vêtement ou un accessoire comportant des éléments informatiques et électroniques avancés. Les technologies portables incluent notamment des textiles (chandails, gants, Hexoskin, maillots de bain connectés, pansements connectés), des lunettes (Google Glass), des montres connectées (Pebble Watch, Apple Watch) et des bijoux.
Cardiac electrophysiologyCardiac electrophysiology is a branch of cardiology and basic science focusing on the electrical activities of the heart. The term is usually used in clinical context, to describe studies of such phenomena by invasive (intracardiac) catheter recording of spontaneous activity as well as of cardiac responses to programmed electrical stimulation - clinical cardiac electrophysiology. However, cardiac electrophysiology also encompasses basic research and translational research components.
Heun's methodIn mathematics and computational science, Heun's method may refer to the improved or modified Euler's method (that is, the explicit trapezoidal rule), or a similar two-stage Runge–Kutta method. It is named after Karl Heun and is a numerical procedure for solving ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with a given initial value. Both variants can be seen as extensions of the Euler method into two-stage second-order Runge–Kutta methods.
Athletic heart syndromeAthletic heart syndrome (AHS) is a non-pathological condition commonly seen in sports medicine in which the human heart is enlarged, and the resting heart rate is lower than normal. The athlete's heart is associated with physiological cardiac remodeling as a consequence of repetitive cardiac loading. Athlete's heart is common in athletes who routinely exercise more than an hour a day, and occurs primarily in endurance athletes, though it can occasionally arise in heavy weight trainers.
Wearable computerA wearable computer, also known as a body-borne computer, is a computing device worn on the body. The definition of 'wearable computer' may be narrow or broad, extending to smartphones or even ordinary wristwatches. Wearables may be for general use, in which case they are just a particularly small example of mobile computing. Alternatively, they may be for specialized purposes such as fitness trackers. They may incorporate special sensors such as accelerometers, heart rate monitors, or on the more advanced side, electrocardiogram (ECG) and blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) monitors.
Time–frequency analysisIn signal processing, time–frequency analysis comprises those techniques that study a signal in both the time and frequency domains simultaneously, using various time–frequency representations. Rather than viewing a 1-dimensional signal (a function, real or complex-valued, whose domain is the real line) and some transform (another function whose domain is the real line, obtained from the original via some transform), time–frequency analysis studies a two-dimensional signal – a function whose domain is the two-dimensional real plane, obtained from the signal via a time–frequency transform.
