[EN] Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia in clinical practice. It is associated with
an increased risk of cardiovascular events, but its early detection
is an unresolved challenge. For ...
[EN] Algorithms developed so far for the detection of local activation waves (LAWs) in electrograms (EGMs) of atrial fibrillation (AF) analyze each channel of the catheter separately, while dominant reentries of AF are ...
[EN] A significant number of variables to discriminate between paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation (ParAF
vs. PerAF) has been widely exploited, mostly assessed
with statistical tests aimed to suggest adequate ...
[EN] Early warning systems (EWSs) have proven to be useful in identifying students at risk of failing both online and conventional courses. Although some general systems have reported acceptable ability to work in modules ...
[EN] Quality assessment of ECG signals acquired with wearable devices is essential to avoid misdiagnosis of some cardiac disorders. For that purpose, novel deep learning algorithms have been recently proposed. However, ...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in routine clinical practice. Despite many years of research, its mechanisms still are not well understood, thus reducing the effectiveness of AF treatments. Nowadays, ...

This paper introduces a new algorithm to quantify the P-wave morphology time course with the aim of anticipating as much as possible the onset of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF). The method is based on modeling each ...
[EN] Regular monitoring of blood pressure (BP) is essential
for early detection of cardiovascular diseases caused by
hypertension, a potentially deadly condition without symptoms in its first stages. This study investigates ...
[EN] Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of
death, with hypertension (HT) being its main risk factor.
Its complications can be avoided with early treatment, but
since these patients do not present any ...
[EN] Vascular events are the main cause of premature death and disability in the developed countries, where there is great interest in the development of computational tools for their early detection. A very relevant ...
[EN] P-waves are vastly used to assess the outcome of
catheter ablation (CA) of atrial fibrillation (AF). It remains unknown, however, if coronary sinus (CS), the key
reference structure in CA procedures, follows similar ...
[EN] Atrial fibrillation (AF) is nowadays the most common cardiac arrhythmia, being associated with an increase in cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. When AF lasts for more than seven days, it is classified as persistent ...

[EN] Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a prevalent cardiac arrhythmia often treated concomitantly with other cardiac interventions through the Cox-Maze procedure. This highly invasive intervention is still linked to a long-term ...
[EN] Hypertension is a major risk factor for many cardiovascular diseases, which are the leading cause of death worldwide. Regular monitoring is essential to provide early diagnosis since most patients with elevated blood ...
[EN] Despite its limited long-term success rate, catheter
ablation (CA) is still the first-line treatment for patients suffering
from persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). Preoperative prediction on
the procedure¿s outcome ...
[EN] Catheter ablation (CA) is the star treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, important issues regarding its procedure have only been superficially explored. While universal CA effect is assessed, the role of ...
[EN] Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, and in response to increasing clinical demand, a variety of signals and indices have been utilized for its analysis, which include complex fractionated ...
