BACKGROUND: Ventricular repolarisation is affected differently by the types of anaesthetics used. This study aimed to compare the effect of different types of anaesthetics on ventricular repolarisation during robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prost...

INTRODUCTION: Studies examining the factors linked to survival after out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) have either aimed to describe the characteristics and outcomes of OHCA in different parts of the world, or focused on certain factors and wheth...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common cardiac disorder that can cause severe complications. AF diagnosis is typically based on the electrocardiogram (ECG) evaluation in hospitals or in clinical facilities. The aim of the present work is to propose a n...
BACKGROUND: Heartbeat interval Lorenz plot (LP) imaging is a promising method for detecting atrial fibrillation (AF) in long-term monitoring, but the optimal segment window length for the LP images is unknown. We examined the performance of AF detect...

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is an effective treatment strategy for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), but many experience AF recurrence and require repeat ablation procedures. The goal of this study was to develop and evaluate a m...

Research on heart rate (HR) estimation using wrist-worn photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors have progressed rapidly owing to the prominence of commercial sensing modules, used widely for lifestyle monitoring. Reported methodologies have been fairly su...
OBJECTIVE: The localization of origins of premature ventricular contraction (PVC) is the key factor for the success of ablation of ventricular arrhythmias. Existing methods rely heavily on manual extraction of PVC beats, which limits their applicatio...

BACKGROUND: The Elliot wave principle commonly characterizes the impulsive and corrective wave trends for both financial market trends and electrocardiograms. The impulsive wave trends of electrocardiograms can annotate several wave components of hea...
In this paper we develop statistical algorithms to infer possible cardiac pathologies, based on data collected from 24 h Holter recording over a sample of 2829 labelled patients; labels highlight whether a patient is suffering from cardiac pathologie...
PURPOSE: Little is known about the characteristics and impact of acute pulmonary embolism (PE) during episodes of asthma exacerbation. We aimed to characterize patients diagnosed with acute PE in the setting of asthma exacerbation, develop a predicti...
