A Stand-Alone Augmented Reality Intervention for Chronic Pain using Embodied Systolic Stimulation

Sylvain Cardin, Andrea Serino, Robert Leeb, Oliver Alan Kannape, Skander Mensi, Fabien Bourban, Alexis Dorier

Chronic pain presents a tremendous personal, societal, and financial burden. Treatment options are often limited to managing symptoms as opposed to treating the causes, and the consequences of pharmacological treatments can be immensely harmful as evidence ...

Active force generation contributes to the complexity of spontaneous activity and to the response to stretch of murine cardiomyocyte cultures

Stéphanie Lacour

Cardiomyocyte cultures exhibit spontaneous electrical and contractile activity, as in a natural cardiac pacemaker. In such preparations, beat rate variability exhibits features similar to those of heart rate variability in vivo. Mechanical deformations and ...

Hardware-oriented pruning and quantization of Deep Learning models to detect life-threatening arrhythmias

Alexandre Schmid, Lizeth Gonzalez Carabarin

Wearable solutions based on Deep Learning (DL) for real-time ECG monitoring are a promising alternative to detect life-threatening arrhythmias. However, DL models suffer of a large memory footprint, which hampers their adoption in portable technologies. Th ...

POD-Enhanced Deep Learning-Based Reduced Order Models for the Real-Time Simulation of Cardiac Electrophysiology in the Left Atrium

Alfio Quarteroni, Andrea Manzoni

The numerical simulation of multiple scenarios easily becomes computationally prohibitive for cardiac electrophysiology (EP) problems if relying on usual high-fidelity, full order models (FOMs). Likewise, the use of traditional reduced order models (ROMs) ...

Outer loop and isthmus in ventricular tachycardia circuits: Characteristics and implications

Alfio Quarteroni, Andrea Manzoni, Luca Dede', Stefano Pagani

BACKGROUND The isthmus of ventricular tachycardia (VT) circuits has been extensively characterized. Few data exist regarding the contribution of the outer loop (OL) to the VT circuit. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to characterize the electrophysi ...

Signal processing techniques for cardiovascular monitoring applications using conventional and video-based photoplethysmography

Sibylle Fallet

Photoplethysmography (PPG)-based monitoring devices will probably play a decisive role in healthcare environment of the future, which will be preventive, predictive, personalized and participatory. Indeed, this optical technology presents several practical ...

Automated multi-parameter measurement of cardiomyocytes dynamics with digital holographic microscopy

Gerardo Turcatti, Benjamin Rappaz, Pierre Marquet

Compounds tested during drug development may have adverse effects on the heart; therefore all new chemical entities have to undergo extensive preclinical assessment for cardiac liability. Conventional intensity-based imaging techniques are not robust enoug ...

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

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

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 ...

Data processing techniques for the characterization of atrial fibrillation

Mathieu Lemay

Atrial fibrillation is the most common sustained cardiac rhythm disturbance, increasing in prevalence with age. During the past 20 years, there has been a 66% increase in hospital admissions related to atrial fibrillation. Neither the natural history of at ...

Analysing the potential of Reveal for monitoring cardiac potentials

Aims The implantable loop recorder (ILR) continuously monitors the heart’s electric activity by means of a subcutaneous bipolar electrogram (Elg). Currently, the relationship between the Elg and the surface electrocardiogram (ECG) has been poorly documente ...

An investigation into therapies for atrial arrythmias using a biophysical model of the human atria

Lam Dang

The most common type of sustained arrhythmia is atrial fibrillation (AF), affecting about 2% of the general population and 8% to 11% of the elderly, more than 65 years of age. The treatment of atrial arrythmia is still based on empirical considerations and ...
