A single-beat algorithm to discriminate farfield from nearfield bipolar voltage electrograms from the pulmonary veins

Jean-Marc Vesin, Adrian Luca, Vincent Schlageter

Background Superimposition of farfield (FF) and nearfield (NF) bipolar voltage electrograms (BVE) complicates the confirmation of pulmonary vein (PV) isolation after catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation. Our aim was to develop an automatic algorithm ba ...

Distinct types of plexiform lesions identified by synchrotron-based phase-contrast micro-CT

Goran Lovric

In pulmonary arterial hypertension, plexiform lesions are associated with severe arterial obstruction and right ventricular failure. Exploring their structure and position is crucial for understanding the interplay between hemodynamics and vascular remodel ...

Multiphysics Computational Modeling in C-Heart

Simone Deparis

From basic science to translation, modern biomedical research demands computational models which integrate several interacting physical systems. This paper describes the infrastructural framework for generic multiphysics integration implemented in the soft ...

Biomechanical, morphological and zero-stress state characterization of jugular vein remodeling in arteriovenous fistulas for hemodialysis

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos

While the role of hemodynamic variables on the development of intimal hyperplasia in arteriovenous fistulas for hemodialysis has been examined, less is known about the intramural biomechanical factors. In this study, arteriovenous fistulas were created by ...

Melanocyte-like cells in the heart and pulmonary veins contribute to atrial arrhythmia triggers

Friedrich Beermann, Fang Liu

Atrial fibrillation is the most common clinical cardiac arrhythmia. It is often initiated by ectopic beats arising from the pulmonary veins and atrium, but the source and mechanism of these beats remains unclear. The melanin synthesis enzyme dopachrome tau ...

Effects of a stiffened arterial tree on ventricular-arterial coupling in healthy and diseased hearts

David Jegger

In this thesis we study ventricular-arterial coupling in rodents under the influence of arterial stiffening and myocardial infarction (MI), combination of the two considered as a novel cardiovascular research model for diseased hearts pumping against an ag ...
