Systematic comparison of non-invasive measures for the assessment of atrial fibrillation complexity: a step forward towards standardization of atrial fibrillation electrogram analysis

Jean-Marc Vesin, Laurent Renaud Uldry, Jérôme Sébastien Van Zaen

Aims To present a comparison of electrocardiogram-based non-invasive measures of atrial fibrillation (AF) substrate complexity computed on invasive animal recordings to discriminate between short-term and long-term AF. The final objective is the selection ...

Alterations in Postural Control during the World's Most Challenging Mountain Ultra-Marathon

Jérôme Sébastien Van Zaen

We investigated postural control (PC) effects of a mountain ultra-marathon (MUM): a 330-km trail run with 24000 m of positive and negative change in elevation. PC was assessed prior to (PRE), during (MID) and after (POST) the MUM in experienced ultra-marat ...

Adaptive Filtering Methods for Identifying Cross-Frequency Couplings in Human EEG

Jean-Marc Vesin, Jérôme Sébastien Van Zaen

Oscillations have been increasingly recognized as a core property of neural responses that contribute to spontaneous, induced, and evoked activities within and between individual neurons and neural ensembles. They are considered as a prominent mechanism fo ...

Adaptive frequency tracking of the baseline ECG identifies the site of atrial fibrillation termination by catheter ablation

Jean-Marc Vesin, Andréa Buttu, Jérôme Sébastien Van Zaen, Etienne Pruvot

Multiple organization indices have been used to predict the outcome of stepwise catheter ablation in long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (AF), however with limited success. Our study aims at developing innovative organization indices from baseline ...

Efficient Schemes for Adaptive Frequency Tracking and their Relevance for EEG and ECG

Jérôme Sébastien Van Zaen

Amplitude and frequency are the two primary features of one-dimensional signals, and thus both are widely utilized to analysis data in numerous fields. While amplitude can be examined directly, frequency requires more elaborate approaches, except in the si ...

Termination of atrial fibrillation by catheter ablation can be successfully predicted from baseline ECG

Jean-Marc Vesin, Andréa Buttu, Jérôme Sébastien Van Zaen, Etienne Pruvot

Purpose Multiple organization indices (OIs) have been used to predict the outcome of stepwise catheter ablation (step-CA) in long-standing persistent AF (pers-AF), however with limited success. Our study aims at developing innovative OIs from baseline (BL, ...

Measures of spatiotemporal organization differentiate persistent from long-standing atrial fibrillation

Jean-Marc Vesin, Yann Prudat, Lukas Kappenberger, Laurent Renaud Uldry, Jérôme Sébastien Van Zaen

This study presents an automatic diagnostic method for the discrimination between persistent and long-standing atrial fibrillation (AF) based on the surface electrocardiogram (ECG). Standard 12-lead ECG recordings were acquired in 53 patients with either p ...

Termination of atrial fibrillation by catheter ablation can be successfully predicted from baseline ECG

Jean-Marc Vesin, Andréa Buttu, Jérôme Sébastien Van Zaen, Etienne Pruvot

Several organization indices have been used to predict the outcome of stepwise catheter ablation (step-CA) in long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (LS-pAF), however with limited success. Our study aims at developing innovative indices from baseline ...

Harmonic frequency tracking algorithm for predicting the success of pharmacological cardioversion of atrial fibrillation

Jean-Marc Vesin, Andréa Buttu, Lukas Kappenberger, Laurent Renaud Uldry, Jérôme Sébastien Van Zaen

Purpose: Non-invasively predicting the success of pharmacological cardioversion for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) would be of great interest in clinical settings. In this study, an adaptive algorithm for tracking fundamental and harmonic component ...

A New Method for ECG Tracking of Persistent Atrial Fibrillation Termination during Stepwise Ablation

Jean-Marc Vesin, Andréa Buttu, Jérôme Sébastien Van Zaen, Etienne Pruvot

Stepwise radiofrequency catheter ablation (step-CA) has become the treatment of choice for the restoration of sinus rhythm (SR) in patients with long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (pers-AF). Its success rate appears limited as the amount of ablat ...

Novel complexity measurements in the ECG differentiate persistent from permanent atrial fibrillation

Jean-Marc Vesin, Lukas Kappenberger, Laurent Renaud Uldry, Jérôme Sébastien Van Zaen

Purpose: Distinguishing persistent from permanent atrial fibrillation (AF) in a reliable way would improve AF patient management, as cardioversion options could be considered appropriately. In this study, complexity measures based on the combined analysis ...

Adaptive tracking of EEG oscillations

Jean-Marc Vesin, Yann Prudat, Laurent Renaud Uldry, Jérôme Sébastien Van Zaen, Cédric Duchene

Neuronal oscillations are an important aspect of EEG recordings. These oscillations are supposed to be involved in several cognitive mechanisms. For instance, oscillatory activity is considered a key component for the top-down control of perception. Howeve ...
