A Patient-Specific Methodology for Prediction of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation Onset

David Atienza Alonso, Jean-Marc Vesin, Amir Aminifar, Sasan Yazdani, Adrian Luca, Elisabetta De Giovanni

In spite of the progress in management of Atrial Fibrillation (AF), this arrhythmia is one of the major causes of stroke and heart failure. The progression of this pathology from a silent paroxysmal form (PAF) into a sustained AF can be prevented by predic ...

A Non-linear Filter to Detect Atrial Activation from Intracardiac Electrograms

Jean-Marc Vesin, Etienne Pruvot, Sasan Yazdani, Andréa Buttu

Atrial activation (AA) detection during atrial fibrillation (AF) can be considered as a first step in estimating AF characteristics such as the AF cycle length. The detection of AA from intracardiac electrograms (EGM) remains challenging due to the constan ...
