A deep convolutional neural network model to classify heartbeats.

Computers in biology and medicine
The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a standard test used to monitor the activity of the heart. Many cardiac abnormalities will be manifested in the ECG including arrhythmia which is a general term that refers to an abnormal heart rhythm. The basis of arrh...

An Implantable Extracardiac Soft Robotic Device for the Failing Heart: Mechanical Coupling and Synchronization.

Soft robotics
Soft robotic devices have significant potential for medical device applications that warrant safe synergistic interaction with humans. This article describes the optimization of an implantable soft robotic system for heart failure whereby soft actuat...

Predicting the physiological response of Tivela stultorum hearts with digoxin from cardiac parameters using artificial neural networks.

Bio Systems
Multi-layer perceptron artificial neural networks (MLP-ANNs) were used to predict the concentration of digoxin needed to obtain a cardio-activity of specific biophysical parameters in Tivela stultorum hearts. The inputs of the neural networks were th...

Modeling and analysis of bio-syncretic micro-swimmers for cardiomyocyte-based actuation.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Along with sensation and intelligence, actuation is one of the most important factors in the development of conventional robots. Many novel achievements have been made regarding bio-based actuators to solve the challenges of conventional actuation. H...

Machine Learning Assessment of Left Ventricular Diastolic Function Based on Electrocardiographic Features.

Journal of the American College of Cardiology
BACKGROUND: Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction is recognized as playing a major role in the pathophysiology of heart failure; however, clinical tools for identifying diastolic dysfunction before echocardiography remain imprecise.
