Stroke is one of two main causes of death worldwide. Many individuals suffer from ischemic stroke every year. Only in US more over 700,000 individuals meet ischemic stroke due to blood clot blocking an artery to the brain every year. The…

Rule-based methods are often used for assigning fiber orientation to cardiac anatomical models. However, existing methods have been developed using data mostly from the left ventricle. As a consequence, fiber information obtained from…

Every sixth death in industrialised countries occurs because of cardiac arrhythmias like ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF). There is growing consensus that VT is associated with an unbroken spiral wave of…

In healthcare, clinical risks are crucial for treatment decisions, yet the analysis of their associations is often overlooked. This gap is particularly significant when balancing risks that are weighed against each other, as in the case of…

Arrhythmias are irregularities in the hearts electrical system which cause rapid and irregular heartbeats. These heart conditions affect over 33 million people globally and significantly increase the risk of severe complications, including…

Management of chronic diseases such as heart failure (HF) is a major public health problem. A standard approach to managing chronic diseases by medical community is to have a committee of experts develop guidelines that all physicians…

Deep learning models for atrial fibrillation (AF) detection are increasingly trained on heterogeneous electrocardiogram (ECG) datasets with varying sampling frequencies, yet the specific consequences of these discrepancies on model…

Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are progressive dilatations of the abdominal aorta that, if left untreated, can rupture with lethal consequences. Imaging-based patient monitoring is required to select patients eligible for surgical…

Shockable rhythms, namely ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia, are the main cause of sudden cardiac arrests, which can be detected quickly by the automated external defibrillator (AED) devices. In this paper, a simple but…

Coronary angiography remains the gold standard for diagnosis of coronary artery disease, the most common cause of death worldwide. While this procedure is performed more than 2 million times annually, there remain few methods for fast and…

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is one of the most common forms of heart disease, which is caused by a buildup of atherosclerotic plaque (known as stenosis) in the coronary arteries, leading to insufficient supplement of blood, oxygen, and…

Coronary artery disease(CAD) is the most common type of heart disease and the leading cause of death worldwide[1]. A progressive state of this disease marked by plaque rupture and clot formation in the coronary arteries, also known as an…

Ventricular arrhythmias, like ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF), precipitate sudden cardiac death (SCD), which is the leading cause of mortality in the industrialised world. Thus, the elimination of VT and VF is…

Atrial fibrillation (AF) and ventricular tachycardia (VT) are two of the sustained arrhythmias that significantly affect the quality of life of patients. Treatment of AF and VT often requires radiofrequency ablation of heart tissues using…

Deformation modeling of cardiac muscle is an important issue in the field of cardiac analysis. For this reason, many approaches have been developed to best estimate the cardiac muscle deformation, and to obtain a practical model to use in…

Objective: In this review, we aim to provide an analysis of current cardiac ablation techniques, such as radiofrequency ablation (RF), cryoablation, and pulsed-field ablation (PFA), with a focus on the role of computational modeling in…

More than 13 million people suffer from ischemic cerebral stroke worldwide each year. Thrombolytic treatment can reduce brain damage but has a narrow treatment window. Computed Tomography Perfusion imaging is a commonly used primary…

Clinicians are expected to have up-to-date and broad knowledge of disease treatment options for a patient. Online health knowledge resources contain a wealth of information. However, because of the time investment needed to disseminate and…

Idiopathic ventricular arrhythmia (IVAs) is extra abnormal heartbeats disturbing the regular heart rhythm that can become fatal if left untreated. Cardiac catheter ablation is the standard approach to treat IVAs, however, a crucial…

In this article, we propose a novel ECG classification framework for atrial fibrillation (AF) detection using spectro-temporal representation (i.e., time varying spectrum) and deep convolutional networks. In the first step we use a Bayesian…
