Ultrasound Stimulations Induce Prolonged Depolarization and Fast Action Potentials in Leech Neurons

Objective: Ultrasound (US) stimulation carries the promise of a selective, reversible, and non-invasive modulation of neural activity without the need for genetic manipulation of neural structures. However, the mechanisms of US-induced generation of action ...

Nanovolcano microelectrode arrays: toward long-term on-demand registration of transmembrane action potentials by controlled electroporation

Philippe Renaud, Arnaud Bertsch, Benoît Xavier Emmanuel Desbiolles, Nicolas Grégoire Maïno, Etienne de Coulon, Stephan Rohr

Volcano-shaped microelectrodes (nanovolcanoes) functionalized with nanopatterned self-assembled monolayers have recently been demonstrated to report cardiomyocyte action potentials after gaining spontaneous intracellular access. These nanovolcanoes exhibit ...

Deep learning-based reduced order models in cardiac electrophysiology

Alfio Quarteroni, Luca Dede', Andrea Manzoni

Predicting the electrical behavior of the heart, from the cellular scale to the tissue level, relies on the numerical approximation of coupled nonlinear dynamical systems. These systems describe the cardiac action potential, that is the polarization/depola ...

Intracellular recording of cardiomyocyte action potentials with nanopatterned volcano-shaped microelectrodes

Benoît Xavier Emmanuel Desbiolles

Micro-nanotechnology based multielectrode arrays have led to remarkable progress in the field of transmembrane voltage recordings of excitable cells. However, electrode geometries alone have failed to produce a cell-electrode interface that is sufficiently ...

Can one detect atrial fibrillation using a wrist-type photoplethysmographic device?

Jean-Marc Vesin, Philippe Renevey, Célestin Leupi, Mathieu Lemay, Sibylle Fallet, Etienne Pruvot

This study aims at evaluating the potential of a wrist-type photoplethysmographic (PPG) device to discriminate between atrial fibrillation (AF) and other types of rhythm. Data from 17 patients undergoing catheter ablation of various arrhythmias were proces ...

Severe and uniform bi-atrial remodeling measured by dominant frequency analysis in persistent atrial fibrillation unresponsive to ablation

Jean-Marc Vesin, Andréa Buttu, Etienne Pruvot, Adrian Luca

Background High values of ECG and intracardiac dominant frequency (DF) are indicative of significant atrial remodeling in persistent atrial fibrillation (peAF). We hypothesized that patients with peAF unresponsive to ablation display higher ECG and intraca ...
