False arrhythmia alarms in intensive care units (ICUs) are a significant challenge, contributing to alarm fatigue and potentially compromising patient safety. Ventricular tachycardia (VT) alarms are particularly difficult to detect…
Myocardial infarction is the leading cause of death worldwide. In this paper, we design domain-inspired neural network models to detect myocardial infarction. First, we study the contribution of various leads. This systematic analysis,…
Many types of ventricular and atrial cardiac arrhythmias have been discovered in clinical practice in the past 100 years, and these arrhythmias are a major contributor to sudden cardiac death. Ventricular tachycardia, ventricular…
Objectives: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common heart rhythm disorder associated with deadly and debilitating consequences including heart failure, stroke, poor mental health, reduced quality of life and death. Having an automatic system…
In electrophysiology, microelectrodes are the primary source for recording neural data of single neurons (single unit activity). These microelectrodes can be implanted individually, or in the form of microelectrodes arrays, consisting of…
Heart murmurs are abnormal sounds caused by turbulent blood flow in the heart. Several diagnostic methods are available to detect heart murmurs and their severity, including cardiac auscultation, echocardiography, and phonocardiography…
Arrhythmias, detectable through electrocardiograms (ECGs), pose significant health risks, underscoring the need for accurate and efficient automated detection techniques. While recent advancements in graph-based methods have demonstrated…
Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) results from chronic remodeling caused by a broad range of systemic and cardiovascular disease including hypertension, aortic stenosis, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and cardiac amyloidosis. Early detection…

Planning the optimal time of intervention for pulmonary valve replacement surgery in patients with the congenital heart disease Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is mainly based on ventricular volume and function according to current guidelines.…
Segmentation of cardiac structures is one of the fundamental steps to estimate volumetric indices of the heart. This step is still performed semi-automatically in clinical routine, and is thus prone to inter- and intra-observer variability.…
Accurate LVEF measurement is important in clinical practice as it identifies patients who may be in need of life-prolonging treatments. This paper presents a deep learning based framework to automatically estimate left ventricular ejection…
Ventricular arrhythmias comprise a group of disorders which manifest clinically in a variety of ways from ventricular premature beats (VPB) and no sustained ventricular tachycardia (in healthy subjects) to sudden cardiac death due to…
Electrocardiography (ECG) is a non-invasive tool for predicting cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Current ECG-based diagnosis systems show promising performance owing to the rapid development of deep learning techniques. However, the label…
An estimated 15 million babies are born too early every year. Approximately 1 million children die each year due to complications of preterm birth (PTB). Many survivors face a lifetime of disability, including learning disabilities and…
