Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) is an effective treatment for cardiac arrhythmias. Although generally safe, it is not completely exempt from the risk of complications. The great flexibility of computational models can be a major…
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia, affecting over 1% of the population. It is usually triggered by irregular electrical impulses that cause the atria to contract irregularly and…
Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common heart arrhythmia, characterized by the presence of fibrillatory waves (f-waves) in the ECG. We introduce a voting scheme to estimate the dominant atrial frequency (DAF) of f-waves.…
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is among one of the most common types of heart arrhythmia afflicting more than 3 million people in the U.S. alone. AF is estimated to be the cause of death of 1 in 4 individuals. Recent advancements in Artificial…
