A novel soft cardiac assist device based on a dielectric elastomer augmented aorta: An in vivo study

Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Jonathan André Jean-Marie Chavanne, Silje Ekroll Jahren, Thomas Guillaume Martinez, Francesco Clavica, Armando Matthieu Walter, Lorenzo Ferrari

Although heart transplant is the preferred solution for patients suffering from heart failures, cardiac assist devices remain key substitute therapies. Among them, aortic augmentation using dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) might be an alternative tech ...

Five-year follow-up of intracoronary autologous cell therapy in acute myocardial infarction: the REGENERATE-AMI trial

John Martin Kolinski, Didier Locca

Aims The long-term outcomes of the intracoronary delivery of autologous bone marrow-derived cells (BMCs) after acute myocardial infarction are not well established. Following the promising 1 year results of the REGENERATE-AMI trial (despite it not achievin ...

ECG-Based Indices to Characterize Persistent Atrial Fibrillation Before and During Stepwise Catheter Ablation

Jean-Marc Vesin, Etienne Pruvot, Adrian Luca

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 ...

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

Vincent Schlageter, Jean-Marc Vesin

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. ...

Dynamics of Intraprocedural Dominant Frequency Identifies Ablation Outcome in Persistent Atrial Fibrillation

Jean-Marc Vesin, Andréa Buttu, Etienne Pruvot, Alain Pithon, Adrian Luca

Background: The role of dominant frequency (DF) in tracking the efficiency of a stepwise catheter ablation (step-CA) in persistent atrial fibrillation (peAF) remains poorly studied. We hypothesized that the DF time-course during step-CA displays divergent ...

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 ...

In vivo application and validation of a novel noninvasive method to estimate the end-systolic elastance

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Stamatia Zoi Pagoulatou, Vasiliki Bikia, Georgios Rovas

Accurate assessment of the left ventricular (LV) systolic function is indispensable in the clinic. However, estimation of a precise index of cardiac contractility, i.e., the end-systolic elastance (E-es), is invasive and cannot be established as clinical r ...

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) ...

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 ...

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 ...

Acute and Long-Term Effects of Aortic Compliance Decrease on Central Hemodynamics: A Modeling Analysis

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Stamatia Zoi Pagoulatou, Vasiliki Bikia, Georgios Rovas

Aortic compliance is an important determinant of cardiac afterload and a contributor to cardiovascular morbidity. In the present study, we sought to provide in silico insights into the acute as well as long-term effects of aortic compliance decrease on cen ...
