Arterial pulse wave modeling and analysis for vascular-age studies: a review from VascAgeNet

Vasiliki Bikia, Patrick Segers

Arterial pulse waves (PWs) such as blood pressure and photoplethysmogram (PPG) signals contain a wealth of information on the cardiovascular (CV) system that can be exploited to assess vascular age and identify individuals at elevated CV risk. We review th ...

NAD(+) Metabolism and Interventions in Premature Renal Aging and Chronic Kidney Disease

Vincenzo Sorrentino

Premature aging causes morphological and functional changes in the kidney, leading to chronic kidney disease (CKD). CKD is a global public health issue with far-reaching consequences, including cardio-vascular complications, increased frailty, shortened li ...

Correlation between conduction velocity and frequency analysis in patients with atrial fibrillation using high-density charge mapping

Jean-Marc Vesin, Lam Dang

Spectral analysis of atrial signals has been used to identify regions of interest in atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the relationship to the atrial substrate is unclear. In this study, we compare regions with dominant frequency (DF), simultaneously dete ...

Impact of atrial fibrillation on left atrium haemodynamics: A computational fluid dynamics study

Alfio Quarteroni, Luca Dede'

We analyse the haemodynamics of the left atrium, highlighting differences between healthy individuals and patients affected by atrial fibrillation. The computational study is based on patient-specific geometries of the left atria to simulate blood flow dyn ...

Evaluation and optimization of novel extraction algorithms for the automatic detection of atrial activations recorded within the pulmonary veins during atrial fibrillation

Jean-Marc Vesin, Adrian Luca, Yann Prudat, Sasan Yazdani, Etienne Pruvot

Background and objective The automated detection of atrial activations (AAs) recorded from intracardiac electrograms (IEGMs) during atrial fibrillation (AF) is challenging considering their various amplitudes, morphologies and cycle length. Activation time ...

Association of Heart Rate Variability With Silent Brain Infarcts in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation

Jean-Marc Vesin, Vincent Schlageter

Purpose: Silent brain infarcts (SBI) are frequently detected in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), but it is unknown whether SBI are linked to autonomic dysfunction. We aimed to explore the association of autonomic dysfunction with SBI in AF patients. ...

A Computational Study of the Electrophysiological Substrate in Patients Suffering From Atrial Fibrillation

Alfio Quarteroni, Andrea Manzoni

In the context of cardiac electrophysiology, we propose a novel computational approach to highlight and explain the long-debated mechanisms behind atrial fibrillation (AF) and to reliably numerically predict its induction and sustainment. A key role is pla ...

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 ...

The effect of the elongation of the proximal aorta on the estimation of the aortic wall distensibility

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Georgios Rovas, Bram Trachet, Vasiliki Bikia, Stamatia Zoi Pagoulatou, Mauro Ferraro

The compliance of the proximal aortic wall is a major determinant of cardiac afterload. Aortic compliance is often estimated based on cross-sectional area changes over the pulse pressure, under the assumption of a negligible longitudinal stretch during the ...

A Proof of Concept for Computational Fluid Dynamic Analysis of the Left Atrium in Atrial Fibrillation on a Patient-Specific Basis

Alfio Quarteroni, Davide Forti, Filippo Menghini

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with a fivefold increase in the risk of cerebrovascular events, being responsible of 15-18% of all strokes. The morphological and functional remodeling of the left atrium (LA) caused by AF favors blood stasis and, con ...

Heart Rate Variability Triangular Index as a Predictor of Cardiovascular Mortality in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation

Jean-Marc Vesin, Vincent Schlageter

Background Impaired heart rate variability (HRV) is associated with increased mortality in sinus rhythm. However, HRV has not been systematically assessed in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). We hypothesized that parameters of HRV may be predictive o ...

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 ...
